Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Read Tick clients, projects, tasks, users and time entries; log and edit time entries.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.
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.
tick_list_clientsList Tick clients. By default only clients that have open projects; set include_all=true for every client (also archived or without projects). 100 per page. GET /clients.json or /clients/all.json.
tick_get_clientOne client by id, with a summary of its projects (count and URL). GET /clients/{id}.json.
tick_list_projectsList Tick projects with budget (hours or money), billable flag, client_id and owner_id. Open projects by default; status=closed for closed ones. 100 per page. GET /projects.json or /projects/closed.json.
tick_get_projectOne project by id, with total_hours entered, a summary of its tasks (count and URL) and its client. GET /projects/{id}.json.
tick_list_tasksList Tick tasks (the budget lines that time entries are logged against). Across all projects, or for one project when project_id is given. Open tasks by default; status=closed for closed ones. You need a task id to log time. 100 per page. GET /tasks.json, /tasks/closed.json, /pro
tick_get_taskOne task by id, with total_hours entered, a summary of its entries (count and URL) and its project. GET /tasks/{id}.json.
tick_list_usersList the users of the Tick subscription (id, name, e-mail, timezone). A non-administrator sees only themself. Use deleted=true for removed users who still have time entries (administrators only). GET /users.json or /users/deleted.json.
tick_list_entriesList time entries. Tick requires EITHER start_date AND end_date (entries dated in that range) OR updated_at (entries created or changed after that time). Optional filters: project_id, task_id, user_id, billable, billed. Each entry has date, hours, notes, task_id, user_id. 100 per
tick_get_entryOne time entry by id, with its task. GET /entries/{id}.json.
tick_create_entryWRITE: log a new time entry on a task (POST /entries.json). Needs the task id (see tick_list_tasks). hours is a decimal (1.5 = 1h30m). user_id is only honored for administrators (otherwise the entry is yours). Creates a new entry every call; nothing is sent to anyone.
tick_update_entryWRITE: change an existing time entry (PUT /entries/{id}.json): hours, notes, date, task, or mark it billed. Only the fields you pass change; the previous values are overwritten.
tick_create_clientWRITE: create a new client (POST /clients.json). Tick administrators only (403 otherwise). Creates a new client every call.
tick_create_projectWRITE: create a new project (POST /projects.json). Tick administrators only. The project has no tasks: create at least one with tick_create_task before time can be logged. Creates a new project every call.
tick_create_taskWRITE: create a new task on a project (POST /tasks.json). Tick administrators only. Creates a new task every call.

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 (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.
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.

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 Tick credentials.
