Clockify Automation

When to use this skill

Use Clockify Automation when an AI agent needs a reusable SKILL.md workflow for this job: Automate time tracking workflows in Clockify -- create and manage time entries, workspaces, and users through natural language commands.

When not to use it

Skip Clockify Automation when the task is outside the productivity category, or when a more specific skill in this directory already covers the same workflow with clearer triggers.

How to install

1. Personal install: create ~/.claude/skills/clockify-automation/SKILL.md (and any bundled scripts) so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and compatible agents can load it in every project.
2. Project install: commit the same folder at .claude/skills/clockify-automation/ so teammates get the skill with the repo.
3. Restart the agent session after copying files so it re-scans the skills directory, then ask for the task in words that match the skill description.

What this skill does

# Clockify Automation

Automate your Clockify time tracking operations directly from Claude Code. Log time entries, query historical data, manage workspaces, and audit team activity -- all without leaving your terminal.

## Setup

1. Add the Rube MCP server to your Claude Code config with URL: `https://rube.app/mcp` 2. When prompted, authenticate your Clockify account through the connection link provided 3. Start automating your time tracking workflows with natural language

## Core Workflows

### 1. Create Time Entries

Log time with project, task, and tag associations, plus billable status.

**Tool:** `CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY`

``` Log 2 hours of work on project 64a687e2 in workspace 64a687e3 starting at 9am UTC today with description "API development" ```

Key parameters: - `workspaceId` (required) -- workspace where the entry is created - `start` (required) -- ISO 8601 start time (e.g., `2026-02-11T09:00:00Z`) - `end` -- ISO 8601 end time; omit to create a running timer - `projectId` -- associate with a project - `taskId` -- associate with a task - `description` -- work description (0-3000 chars) - `tagIds` -- array of tag IDs - `billable` -- whether the entry is billable - `customFieldValues` -- array of custom field entries with `customFieldId` and `value`

### 2. Query Time Entries

Retrieve historical time entries for reporting, auditing, and invoicing.

**Tool:** `CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES`

``` Get all time entries for user abc123 in workspace xyz789 from January 2026 ```

Key parameters: - `workspaceId` (required) -- workspace to query - `userId` (required) -- user whose entries to retrieve - `start` / `end` -- ISO 8601 date range filters - `project` -- filter by project ID - `task` -- filter by task ID - `tags` -- comma-separated tag IDs - `description` -- text filter (partial match) - `hydrated` -- set `true` to get full project/task/tag objects instead of just IDs - `in-progress` -- set `true` to return only the running timer - `page` / `page-size` -- pagination (default 50 per page)

### 3. Delete Time Entries

Remove erroneous, duplicate, or cancelled time entries.

**Tool:** `CLOCKIFY_DELETE_TIME_ENTRY`

``` Delete time entry 5b715448 from workspace 64a687e3 ```

- Requires `workspaceId` and `id` (the time entry ID) - Use for cleanup of bad imports or duplicates

### 4. Manage Workspaces

List all workspaces the authenticated user belongs to.

**Tool:** `CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES`

``` Show me all my Clockify workspaces ```

- Optional `roles` filter -- array of roles like `["WORKSPACE_ADMIN", "OWNER"]` - Use this to discover workspace IDs before creating or querying entries

### 5. User Information

Retrieve current user details and list workspace members.

**Tools:** `CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO`, `CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE`

``` Who am I logged in as? Then list all users in workspace 64a687e3 ```

- `CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO` returns the authenticated user's profile (no parameters needed) - `CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE` requires `workspaceId`; supports `name`, `email` filters and pagination (`page`, `page-size` max 100)

### 6. Running Timer Management

Start a timer by omitting `end` in create, or check for running entries.

**Tools:** `CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY`, `CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES`

``` Start a timer on project abc in workspace xyz with description "Working on bug fix" ```

- Create without `end` to start a running timer - Use `CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES` with `in-progress: true` to check if a timer is running

---

## Known Pitfalls

- **Workspace and user IDs are required:** Most Clockify tools require both `workspaceId` and `userId`. Always call `CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES` and `CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO` first to resolve these IDs. - **ISO 8601 timestamps:** All time parameters must be in ISO 8601 format with timezone (e.g., `2026-02-11T09:00:00Z`). Omitting the timezone causes unpredictable behavior. - **Running timers:** Only one timer can run at a time. Creating a new entry without `end` will fail if another timer is already active. Stop the existing timer first. - **Pagination defaults:** `CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES` defaults to 50 entries per page. For full exports, loop through pages until no more results are returned. - **Tag IDs are workspace-scoped:** Tag IDs from one workspace cannot be used in another. Always resolve tags within the target workspace context.
