Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Bill4Time MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fbill4time/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Bill4Time MCP by usefulapi

Use Bill4Time from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read clients, projects, time entries, expenses, invoices, payments, users and contacts with typed filters and sorting. Read-only; confidential fields such as addresses, tax ids and pay rates are never returned. Needs a Bill4Time v1 API key. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Bill4Time credentials.

Live endpoint: https://bill4time.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/bill4time

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://bill4time.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http bill4time https://bill4time.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "bill4time": {      "url": "https://bill4time.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Bill4Time credentials.
