What you can do with WebClock in Claude and ChatGPT

For HR, payroll and operations teams that use WebClock for time clock and timesheet data.

See who is in and who is out now

Check the current in or out status of each employee, with the last in and last out times and the time-off flag. Read the employee list with its pay group and department.

Review timesheets for a pay period

Read the timesheet hours by pay code, client and task, with lock and approval status. Compare them with the raw punch times for the same dates.

Find shifts with missing punches

List shift anomalies such as missing punches for a date range. Read the time-clock records of the same days to check them.

Check accrual balances and time-off requests

Read the accrual balance of each employee and accrual type. List the time-off requests in a date range, filtered by status or employee.

Prepare payroll-ready data for one pay group

Read units, rates, pay codes and PTO balance for one pay group over a date range. Add time totals per week or month for the same period.

How do I connect WebClock?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password.

Ask WebClock Support for API access with an active WebClock account. Your credentials are used only to call the WebClock API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; they are never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name WebClock and this URL, then click Add:
    https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on WebClock.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name WebClock and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password.
  4. In Plugins, install WebClock, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http webclock https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webclock": {
      "url": "https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "webclock": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add webclock --url https://webclock.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login webclock

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://webclock.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: the login page asks for your WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password. 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.

Each paid plan covers this WebClock server only. Ask your AI to run webclock_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with webclock_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with webclock_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)webclock_usage_status
    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.
  • Request a missing featurewebclock_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the WebClock 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.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+webclock_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for WebClock (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionwebclock_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's WebClock 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 webclock_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with WebClock in Claude or ChatGPT?

See who is in and who is out now. Review timesheets for a pay period. Find shifts with missing punches. Check accrual balances and time-off requests. Prepare payroll-ready data for one pay group. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official WebClock product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by WebClock. The server calls the WebClock API with your own WebClock access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect WebClock to Claude or ChatGPT?

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.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my WebClock key or an Authorization header in the client config?

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 WebClock Client ID, WebClock API username and WebClock API password. 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.

How do you keep my WebClock credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the WebClock 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 WebClock.

Can the AI change my WebClock data?

All 16 WebClock tools are marked read-only.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this WebClock server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run webclock_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run webclock_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run webclock_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a WebClock tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with webclock_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.

Which AI clients can I use?

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.

Need a tool this server does not have, or a connection to another system? We build custom integrations and MCP servers.
