← Back to Timecade

Connect Timecade to the tools you already use

Start and manage timers through AI, turn calendar events into countdowns, or send timer events to other services.

Integrations are still under active development. Existing connections keep working, but features and settings may change — see the changelog for updates.

Connected and supported today.

ChatGPT & AI assistants

Connect Timecade as an MCP connector so an assistant can read your focus data and log sessions.

Available

What the connection can do

Timecade runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Once connected, ChatGPT can answer questions about your focus time, look up your presets, alarms and world clock, create pomodoro projects and log completed focus sessions — all against your own signed-in Timecade account.

Example prompts: “How many focus minutes did I log last week?”, “Create a Timecade project called Thesis”, “What alarms did I have yesterday?”

Tools exposed to the assistant

  • list_presetsRead only

    Your saved timer, pomodoro, tabata and alarm presets.

  • list_pomodoro_projectsRead only

    Projects you track focus time against.

  • create_pomodoro_projectWrites data

    Creates a new project with a name and optional colour.

  • log_pomodoro_sessionWrites data

    Records a completed focus session against your account.

  • get_focus_statsRead only

    Total focus minutes, session count and per-day breakdown (up to 90 days).

  • list_recent_alarmsRead only

    Your most recent scheduled or fired alarms.

  • list_world_clockRead only

    The ordered list of cities and time zones in your world clock.

What ChatGPT can read or change

  • Reads only the data of the Timecade account you sign in with during setup.
  • Can create pomodoro projects and log focus sessions.
  • Cannot see or change any other user’s data — access is enforced per account.
  • Cannot delete presets, projects, sessions, alarms or world clock entries.
  • Cannot reach your account settings, subscription or payment details.

Current limitations

  • The assistant cannot start, pause or stop a timer running in your browser. The tools work on stored data, not on the live screen.
  • Sessions are logged after the fact, not streamed live.
  • Custom MCP connectors require a ChatGPT plan where connectors are available.
  • You need a Timecade account; signed-out use is not supported over MCP.

Step by step

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings and enable connectors (developer mode where required).
  2. Choose “Add custom connector” / “Add MCP server” and paste the Timecade server URL:
    https://timecade.com/mcp
  3. Give it a name, for example “Timecade”, and continue.
  4. You are sent to Timecade to sign in. Use the same account you use in the app, then approve the access request on the consent screen.
  5. Back in ChatGPT, verify the connection with a prompt like “List my Timecade presets”.

Troubleshooting

  • Sign-in loop, no consent screen: sign in to Timecade in the same browser first, then retry adding the connector.
  • “No tools found”: the URL must be exactly the one above, with no trailing slash or path.
  • Empty results: you likely approved a different Timecade account, or there is no data yet. Remove the connector and reconnect.
  • Stopped working after a while: the access token expired — reconnect the connector.
  • No “add connector” option: your ChatGPT plan does not expose custom connectors yet.

Other assistants

The same URL works with any MCP-capable client, such as Claude or Cursor. ChatGPT is the path we document and test.
