Timeero MCP: Ask AI About Time, Mileage, GPS, and Workforce Data

What is Timeero MCP?

‍

The acronym MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard that allows AI assistants to connect to external tools and data.

‍

‍

For example, instead of opening a report and sorting through the results, you can just ask:

‍

“Who’s clocked in right now?”

‍

or

‍

“How many miles did this group drive last week?”

‍

‍

‍

‍

The AI uses your Timeero connection to find the information you need and brings it into the conversation. From there, you can ask a follow-up question that builds off of the answers you have already been given. 

‍

Timeero MCP can work with data from GPS time tracking and mileage tracking, along with other parts of your Timeero account, including:

‍

• Users and groups
• Jobs and tasks
• Timesheets and time entries
• Schedules and breaks
• Custom fields
• GPS locations
• Time off
• Mileage

‍

What can you do with Timeero MCP?

‍

Timeero MCP gives you a simple way to use AI with your workforce data. Here are a few things you can actually do with it.

Get quick answers

‍

Need to know something about your team? Ask your AI tool and get the information from your Timeero account within seconds. 

‍

‍

‍

‍

‍

For example: 

‍

• “How much did this group cost in labor last month?”
• “How many hours did this crew work last week?”
• “Who is scheduled to work today?”
• “Where did this worker clock in yesterday?”
• “How many miles did this group log last week?”

‍

Instead of finding the right report first, you can start with the question.

‍

Find what you need

‍

Need to find a specific timesheet, time entry, or set of hours? Ask the AI to find it in Timeero.

‍

‍

‍

‍

For example:

• “Show me the unapproved timesheets from Friday.”
• “Find this worker’s time entries from last week.”
• “Which timesheets still need approval?”
• “Show me this group’s hours from Monday through Friday.”
• “Find this worker’s mileage from last month.”

‍

The AI can find what you’re looking for without making you dig through reports or apply filters yourself.

Dig deeper with follow-up questions

‍

Finding the first answer is often just the beginning. You may want to compare it with another time period, look at another group, or understand why the numbers changed.

‍

With MCP, you can keep the conversation going.

‍

For example:

"How many hours did my team work last week?"

‍

Then:

"How does that compare with the week before?"

‍

Then:

"Which workers accounted for the biggest difference?"

‍

Instead of running a new report for every question, you can build on the information you've already asked for.

‍

Make changes in Timeero

‍

Timeero MCP can do more than answer questions. With the right permissions, you can also ask the AI to make changes in your Timeero account.

‍

‍

For example, after finding unapproved timesheets, you could ask:

‍

“Approve these timesheets.”

‍

You can go from finding an answer to getting the work done, all through the same conversation.

‍

Read access is on by default. Write and Delete access are optional, so you decide whether the AI can make changes to your Timeero data.

Use Timeero with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools

‍

One of the benefits of MCP is that you're not locked into a separate Timeero AI assistant. You can connect Timeero to the AI tools you already use.

‍

Timeero + ChatGPT

‍

‍

‍

The Timeero and ChatGPT integration brings your Timeero data into ChatGPT. Use it to look up workforce information, compare data, and dig deeper with follow-up questions. With the right permissions, ChatGPT can also make supported changes in your Timeero account.

‍

Set up Timeero with ChatGPT →

‍

Timeero + Claude

‍

‍

‍

The Timeero Claude integration lets you work with your Timeero data inside Claude. You can explore workforce information, ask follow-up questions, and use the same conversation to work through a task. With the right permissions, Claude can also make supported changes in Timeero.

‍

Set up Timeero with Claude →

‍

Timeero + Cursor

‍

‍

‍

Timeero MCP also works with Cursor and other AI tools that support remote HTTP MCP connections. This gives developers a way to work with Timeero data while building and testing software.

‍

If you're building your own application or integration, the Timeero Public API is still the better option. MCP is designed for working with Timeero through compatible AI tools.

‍

‍

You control what AI can access and change

‍

Connecting Timeero to an AI assistant doesn't mean handing over full access to your account.

‍

You control what the AI can do through your MCP permissions.

‍

‍

‍

Read access is available by default. This allows the AI to find and work with information in your Timeero account.

‍

Write and Delete access are optional. If you enable them, the AI can make supported changes to your Timeero data.

‍

You can change these permissions anytime to control what the AI can access and do.

Timeero MCP vs. Timeero Public API

‍

MCP and the Public API both connect other tools to Timeero, but they're meant for different jobs.

‍

The Timeero Public API is for developers who want to connect Timeero with another application. It lets them retrieve Timeero data, send requests, and build custom integrations.

‍

Timeero MCP lets you connect Timeero to AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Once connected, you can use plain English to work with your Timeero data instead of building an integration yourself.

‍

‍

Think of it this way: if you're a developer building a connection between Timeero and your own software, start with the Public API. If you want to work with your Timeero data through an AI assistant, MCP is the connection you need.

Put AI to work with your Timeero data

‍

Timeero already has the workforce data you need. MCP gives you a new way to work with it through the AI tools you already use.

‍

Connect Timeero to ChatGPT, Claude, or another compatible AI tool and start asking questions about your workforce data.

‍

Once you have an answer, you can keep going. Ask another question, compare time periods, look at another team, or make a change in Timeero.
