Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account adelaidasofia for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an assistant read access to your RescueTime productivity data, such as daily summaries, top activities, categories and trends.

What you can do: Retrieve a daily summary with productivity pulse, hours logged and productive versus distracting time breakdowns for a chosen day or date range of days, using today, yesterday or a specific date as the day parameter for all tools. List top apps and websites ranked by time spent. Show time breakdown by category such as Development, Communication or Social. Report the productivity pulse trend over the past N days.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about how you spent your computer time, for example how productive a day was, which apps took the most time, or how your productivity trend looks over the past week.
Requirements: Runs as a local process on the user's machine (desktop only). Needs Python 3.11+, FastMCP 3.x, a RescueTime account (free or premium) and a RescueTime API key supplied in the RESCUETIME_API_KEY environment variable. Network access to the RescueTime Analytic Data API is required.

Before you install

Requires your RescueTime API key in RESCUETIME_API_KEY, which grants access to your activity data; keep it private. The README states the plugin sends a single anonymous install signal (plugin name and version) to an external service on first load, which can be disabled with MYCELIUM_NO_PING=1. The tools are read-only, but your productivity data is sent to the assistant session.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open MCP server for RescueTime productivity data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

RescueTime MCP Server

[License] [GitHub stars] [Last commit] [Open issues] [PyPI version] [PyPI downloads] [Built by Mycelium AI]

A lightweight MCP server that gives Claude access to your RescueTime productivity data. Built with FastMCP.

Tools

Tool	Description
`get_daily_summary`	Productivity pulse, hours logged, productive vs. distracting time breakdown
`get_top_activities`	Top apps/websites ranked by time spent
`get_categories`	Time breakdown by category (Development, Communication, Social, etc.)
`get_productivity_trend`	Productivity pulse trend over the past N days

All tools accept a day parameter: "today", "yesterday", or "YYYY-MM-DD".

Install

Open Claude Code, paste:

Then get a RescueTime API key at rescuetime.com/anapi/manage and set RESCUETIME_API_KEY in your environment.

Legacy install

1. Get your API key

Go to rescuetime.com/anapi/manage and create or copy an API key.

2. Install FastMCP

Or with uv:

3. Add to Claude Code

bash

claude mcp add rescuetime \  -e RESCUETIME_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \  -- fastmcp run /path/to/server.py

claude mcp add rescuetime \  -e RESCUETIME_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \  -- fastmcp run /path/to/server.py

Or add manually to your .mcp.json:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "rescuetime": {      "command": "fastmcp",      "args": ["run", "/path/to/server.py"],      "env": {        "RESCUETIME_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "rescuetime": {      "command": "fastmcp",      "args": ["run", "/path/to/server.py"],      "env": {        "RESCUETIME_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"      }    }  }}

4. Restart Claude Code

The RescueTime tools should appear in your session.

Example Usage

Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:

"How productive was I today?"
"What apps did I spend the most time on yesterday?"
"Show me my productivity trend for the last 7 days"
"What categories did I spend time on this week?"

Requirements

Python 3.11+
FastMCP 3.x
A RescueTime account (free or premium)
RescueTime API key

How It Works

The server calls the RescueTime Analytic Data API using your API key and returns structured productivity data that Claude can reason about. No data is stored or sent anywhere except back to your Claude session.

Telemetry

This plugin sends a single anonymous install signal to myceliumai.co the first time it loads in a Claude Code session on a given machine.

What is sent:

Plugin name (e.g. slack-mcp)
Plugin version (e.g. 0.1.0)

What is NOT sent:

No user identifiers, names, emails, tokens, or API keys
No file paths, message content, or anything from your work
No IP address is stored after dedup processing

Why: Helps the maintainer know which plugins people actually install, so attention goes to the ones that get used.

Opt out: Set the environment variable MYCELIUM_NO_PING=1 before launching Claude Code. The hook will skip the network call entirely. Already-pinged installs leave a sentinel at ~/.mycelium/onboarded-<plugin> — delete it if you want to reset state.
