Read clock records, timesheets and rotas; change employees and rotas, add clock records in Go2Clock. For UK employers and managers who use Go2Clock for clocking, timesheets and rotas. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"go2clock": {
"url": "https://go2clock.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"go2clock": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://go2clock.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
List the clock records of one day, or of a range of up to 7 days, with the name and shift of each user.
go2clock_list_clock_records go2clock_list_clock_records_range go2clock_list_users
Generate the timesheet CSV for up to 7 days, for everyone or for one department or employee.
go2clock_get_timesheet_csv
Read the rota of one employee between two dates, with shift names and planned hours per day.
go2clock_get_rota go2clock_list_users
Put a named shift on the rota from a start date, for one or more days. An existing rota entry on the same date is replaced.
Changes data · go2clock_create_rota go2clock_get_rota
Add one clock record for an employee. Go2Clock refuses a duplicate record.
Changes data · go2clock_upload_clock_record go2clock_list_clock_records
Change some details of one employee, or upload a list of new and changed employees. Passwords and roles are not changed.

The login page asks for your Go2Clock API key.
Create it in Go2Clock → Settings → API key (an admin login is needed). Create a key for this server only: Go2Clock asks that each app has its own key.
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: the login page asks for your Go2Clock API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Go2Clock connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
go2clock_list_users | read | List clock users List every clock user with id, name, department, shift, payroll number and manager flag. Clock PINs are removed. Go2Clock API: POST /api/users/. |
go2clock_list_employees | read | List employee details List employee details: contact, department, trade, pay rates, roles, start and termination dates. Go2Clock API: POST /api/employees/. |
go2clock_list_clock_records | read | List clock records for a day List every clocking record (punch) for one date. Go2Clock API: POST /api/punches/ with punch_date. |
go2clock_list_clock_records_range | read | List clock records for a date range List clocking records between two dates, optionally for one employee. Keep the range to 7 days or fewer per call; Go2Clock advises against larger pulls. Go2Clock API: POST /api/punches_range/. |
go2clock_get_timesheet_csv | read | Get timesheet CSV Generate the timesheet report as CSV for up to 7 days, optionally for one department or one employee. Returns the CSV text. Go2Clock API: POST /api/timesheet_csv_v1. |
go2clock_get_rota | read | Get employee rota Read an employee's rota (shift schedule) between two dates: shift name, colour and planned hours per day. Go2Clock API: GET /api/employee_rota. |
go2clock_update_employee | write | Update employee details Change some details of one existing employee. Send only the fields to change. Go2Clock API: PUT /api/employee_update. Does not change sign-in passwords or roles. |
go2clock_upload_employees | write | Create or update employees Upload a list of employees (new or changed). Go2Clock keys each record on userid. Sends a JSON array. Go2Clock API: PUT /api/employees/. Does not set passwords or roles. |
go2clock_upload_clock_record | write | Add a clock record Add one clocking record (punch) for an employee. Go2Clock refuses a duplicate record. Go2Clock API: PUT /api/punches/. |
go2clock_create_rota | write | Create rota shifts Put a named shift on an employee's rota for one or more days from a start date. An existing rota entry on the same date is replaced. The shift name must match a shift in Go2Clock's shift settings. Go2Clock API: POST /api/employee_rota. |
go2clock_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
go2clock_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Go2Clock tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
go2clock_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Go2Clock (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
go2clock_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Go2Clock Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run go2clock_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this Go2Clock server only. Subscribe with go2clock_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with go2clock_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running go2clock_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Check clock-ins for a day or week. Export a timesheet report. Read an employee's rota. Put a shift on an employee's rota. Add a missed clock record. Update employee details. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Go2Clock. The server calls the Go2Clock API with your own Go2Clock access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Go2Clock API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. 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: the login page asks for your Go2Clock API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Go2Clock API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Go2Clock.
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 10 Go2Clock tools can create or change data. The other 6 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Go2Clock server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run go2clock_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run go2clock_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run go2clock_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with go2clock_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
