Harvest Automation

Overview of Skills


Harvest Automation lets you automate Harvest time tracking operations directly in Claude Code. Using natural-language commands, you can record work hours, manage projects and clients, create tasks, and retrieve report data.

Use Cases


  • Daily time tracking – No need to open a browser. Quickly record and edit Harvest time entries in the terminal. Supports two account types: duration-based and timestamp-based.

  • Project management automation – Create new projects, configure billing methods, set budgets, manage clients, and manage task types. Fully covers the project lifecycle.

  • Time reports and analysis – Extract time records across multiple dimensions such as date range, project, and client. Generate billing summaries and utilization reports.

    • Core Features


  • Time entry management – Create, query, and update Harvest time entries. Supports filtering by project, task, and date, and can bulk-retrieve unbilled records.

  • Project and client management – Create new billable projects with billing configurations (billing by project/task/person). Manage client profiles and reusable task types.

  • Reports and data export – Retrieve time records using date windows and multi-dimensional filters. Supports paginated retrieval of complete datasets for billing and time analysis.

    • FAQs

    How do I connect a Harvest account in Claude Code?


    Add the Rube MCP server to your Claude Code configuration. The URL is https://rube.app/mcp. After starting, you’ll receive an authentication link—complete the OAuth authorization to start using it.

    Which Harvest account types are supported?


    Two account types are supported:
  • Duration-based accounts use the hours parameter to record total work hours.

  • Timestamp-based accounts use started_time and ended_time to record start and end times. The skill automatically detects the account type.

    • What limitations apply to task assignment when creating time entries?


    The entry’s task_id must already be assigned to the specified project_id. Using only HARVEST_LIST_TASKS to query global tasks isn’t sufficient—you must confirm that the task is assigned to that project for the time entry to be created successfully.
