Harvest MCP by usefulapi
Use your Harvest account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read time entries, projects, clients, tasks and invoices, and log or update tracked time. Hosted,
no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp.
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http harvest https://harvest.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:
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 Harvest credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/harvest/
On first connect you'll provide your Harvest personal access token and Account ID (id.getharvest.com → Developers). It is validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no
keys in config files.
