Clockify MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Clockify and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 170 Clockify actions (63 reads, 80 writes and 27 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Clockify credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Clockify's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect Clockify in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Connect Clockify.
API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

Top actions
The Clockify API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 42 of Clockify's 42 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Questions
The Clockify MCP server, answered.
Is there a Clockify MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 170 Clockify actions across approval requests, invoices, projects and scheduling assignments, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Clockify.
What do I need to connect Clockify?
Clockify API key: in Clockify open Profile settings > Preferences > Advanced…. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "clockify" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Clockify?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 27 Clockify actions are destructive, including delete a task from a project, delete a project from a workspace and delete a time entry from a workspace. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my Clockify API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Clockify service file: 20 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (50 Clockify actions can be), which never reaches Clockify.
What does a Clockify action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (170 Clockify actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Clockify refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which Clockify API does it cover?
The Clockify API v1, Reports API v1, Audit Log API v1 (OpenAPI 3.0.1) at api.clockify.me by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Clockify's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 170 actions in 57 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Clockify data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Clockify credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
