Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read time entries, projects, clients, tasks and invoices; log and update tracked time.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 20 things (tools) harvest_list_time_entries, harvest_get_time_entry, harvest_list_projects, harvest_get_project …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

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.

    List projects, optionally filtered by active status or client, or updated-since. Paginated. Harvest REST: GET /projects.

  • harvest_get_project

    Retrieve a single project by id. Harvest REST: GET /projects/{id}.

  • harvest_list_project_assignments

    List the authenticated user's active project assignments — the projects and their assignable tasks the current user can log time against (use this to find the project_id + task_id for harvest_create_time_entry). Paginated. Harvest REST: GET /users/me/project_assignments.

  • harvest_list_invoices

    List invoices, optionally filtered by client, project, state, date range, or updated-since. Paginated. Harvest REST: GET /invoices.

  • harvest_get_invoice

    Retrieve a single invoice by id, including its line items. Harvest REST: GET /invoices/{id}.

    Retrieve the company/account settings for the authenticated account (name, currency, time/date formats, week start, feature flags). Harvest REST: GET /company.

  • harvest_create_time_entry

    Create a time entry. Requires project_id, task_id and spent_date. Provide `hours` to log a specific duration; OR provide `started_time` (+ optional `ended_time`) for a timestamped entry; OR omit both to start a running timer (on a timestamp-tracking account). Use harvest_list_pro

  • harvest_update_time_entry

    Update an existing time entry's hours, notes, spent date, or project/task. Only the fields you provide are changed. Harvest REST: PATCH /time_entries/{id}. WRITE — modifies data.

  • harvest_stop_time_entry

    Stop a currently running time entry (no-op error if it is already stopped). Harvest REST: PATCH /time_entries/{id}/stop. WRITE — modifies data.

  • harvest_restart_time_entry

    Restart a previously stopped time entry, resuming its timer (error if it is already running). Harvest REST: PATCH /time_entries/{id}/restart. WRITE — modifies data.

  • harvest_delete_time_entry

    Permanently delete a time entry by id. This cannot be undone. Harvest REST: DELETE /time_entries/{id}. WRITE — destroys data.

Common questions

Is Harvest MCP by usefulapi safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

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.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Symantec Cloud DLP AIops

Harvest MCP by usefulapi

Use your Harvest account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read time entries, projects, clients, tasks and invoices, and log or update tracked time. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http harvest https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "harvest": { "url": "https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

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 Harvest credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/harvest/

On first connect you'll provide your Harvest personal access token and Account ID (id.getharvest.com → Developers). It is validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
