Automate Toggl Track time entry management through natural language commands, allowing you to create time entries, manage projects and clients, organize tags, and control workspaces without leaving the terminal.

Use Cases

1. Daily Time Tracking for Developers

Record time quickly during your programming workflow without switching to a browser or mobile app. Add time entries to the current project, associate tasks and tags, and maintain continuous and accurate time tracking with simple commands.

2. Team Time Management for Project Managers

Create and manage projects and client information in batches, and view how team members allocate their time. Query workspace status using natural language to quickly obtain project details and statistics, improving team time management efficiency.

3. Billable Time Tracking for Freelancers

Accurately record time spent on client projects and automatically associate project and client information to ensure precise billing. Use tags to organize different types of work and generate clear time records for invoices and reports.

Core Features

Time Entry Management

Create and stop timers, associate projects, assign tasks, add tags, and enter descriptions. You can create completed time entries in a single operation or start a timer to track work duration in real time. All operations are completed through natural language commands, with flexible time format support.

Project and Client Management

Create new projects in a workspace and configure their billable status, color markers, and estimated hours. Query project lists in batches and retrieve complete information, including client details. Client information can also be created and queried, helping establish a complete project–client relationship structure.

Workspace and Tag Management

List all accessible workspaces and their metadata, and retrieve workspace preferences. Manage tags for categorizing time entries, with support for listing and validating tags. These features help organize complex multi-workspace environments and ensure consistent time tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What features does Toggl Automation support?

It supports core operations such as creating and stopping time entries, managing projects and clients, querying workspaces and tags, and retrieving projects visible to the user. It covers nearly all major Toggl Track API functions, including batch queries, project detail retrieval, and workspace preference settings.

How do I configure Toggl Automation in Claude Code?

Add the Rube MCP server to your Claude Code configuration using the URL https://rube.app/mcp. After configuration, you will be prompted to authenticate your Toggl Track account through a connection link. Once authentication is complete, you can use natural language commands to automate time-tracking operations.

What limitations does Toggl Automation have?

Most features require a workspace ID as a mandatory parameter, so it is recommended to query workspaces first to obtain the ID. Tags for time entries use names rather than IDs, so be careful to distinguish between them. Some advanced features, such as custom colors and fixed fees, require a paid Toggl account.
