Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Read tracked time and projects; create projects and start or stop timers in DeskTime.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
desktime_get_companyThe DeskTime company account this API key belongs to: company name, work schedule (start, end, duration, working days), tracking window and account timezone. GET /company.
desktime_list_employeesAll employees of the company with their tracked time for a day, week or month: arrived/left, online, desk, at-work, productive time, productivity and efficiency, group. Starts at `date` (default today); `period` is day (default), week or month. Returned a page at a time (employee
desktime_get_employeeOne employee's summary for one day: name, email, group, arrived/left, late, online/offline/desk/at-work/productive time (seconds), productivity and efficiency. Without projects or apps; see desktime_get_employee_projects / _apps / _full for those. GET /employee/basic. This is emp
desktime_get_employee_projectsOne employee's day summary plus the projects and tasks they tracked time on that day. GET /employee/projects. This is employee monitoring (personal) data: ask for one day at a time and only what the user needs.
desktime_get_employee_appsOne employee's day summary plus the apps, websites and titles they used that day, with durations and productivity class. Lists longer than 200 entries are cut. GET /employee/apps. This is employee monitoring (personal) data: ask for one day at a time and only what the user needs.
desktime_get_employee_fullOne employee's day summary plus both the tracked projects/tasks and the apps/websites used that day. The largest reply: prefer the narrower tools. Lists longer than 200 entries are cut. GET /employee. This is employee monitoring (personal) data: ask for one day at a time and only
desktime_list_projectsActive (not archived) projects of the company with their tasks: id, name, creation time and tasks. Returned a page at a time. GET /projects.
desktime_create_projectWRITE: create a new project (and optionally one task in it) in the company's DeskTime account. Not idempotent: a second call with the same name makes another project. Returns the new project's id, url and tasks. POST /create-project.
desktime_start_projectWRITE: start tracking time on a project (and optionally a task) for the user the API key belongs to, by project name. This changes that user's tracked time and may switch away from the project currently running. Returns {started: true|false}. GET /start-project.
desktime_stop_projectWRITE: stop tracking time on a project (and optionally a task) for the user the API key belongs to, by project name. Returns {stopped: true|false}. GET /stop-project.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Use your DeskTime account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. It reads tracked time, projects and tasks, and it can create projects and start or stop project timers. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your DeskTime credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/desktime/
On first connect you provide your DeskTime API key (desktime.com/app/api). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
