Read your WakaTime coding time: summaries, stats, projects, goals, commits and leaderboards. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, 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": {
"wakatime": {
"url": "https://wakatime.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"wakatime": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://wakatime.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}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.
The login page asks for your WakaTime Secret API Key.
Find it at wakatime.com → Settings → Account → Secret API Key (wakatime.com/settings/api-key). This server only reads your data, but the key itself gives full access to your WakaTime account. Your key is used only to call the WakaTime API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone. You can reset it at any time on the same page.
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 WakaTime Secret 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.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
wakatime_get_user | read | Get current user The WakaTime user this key belongs to: id, username, display name, email, timezone, plan, last plugin/project/branch and last heartbeat time. GET /users/current. |
wakatime_get_summaries | read | Get daily summaries Coding activity as one summary per day for a date range: grand total plus breakdowns by project, language, editor, operating system, category, dependencies and machine, with cumulative total and daily average. Give start and end, or one named range. Use project (and branches) to also get per-branch and per-file entities. GET /users/current/summaries. |
wakatime_get_stats | read | Get coding stats Aggregated coding stats for a range: total time, daily average, best day, AI vs human line changes, and the full breakdown by language, project, editor, operating system, category, dependencies and machine.

Does not count against the meter. | |
wakatime_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED WakaTime tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage).

Does not count against the meter. | |
wakatime_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's WakaTime Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run wakatime_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this WakaTime server only. Subscribe with wakatime_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with wakatime_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running wakatime_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by WakaTime. The server calls the WakaTime API with your own WakaTime access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your WakaTime Secret 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 WakaTime Secret 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 WakaTime 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 WakaTime.
All 23 WakaTime tools are marked read-only.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this WakaTime server only. Run wakatime_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run wakatime_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run wakatime_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 wakatime_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, 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.
