Can I stop a running timer through the agent?

Yes! Use the `stop_current_timer` tool. Provide your workspace and user ID, and the agent will instruct Clockify to stop the active timer immediately.

How do I see the projects for a specific workspace?

Use the `list_workspace_projects` tool with the workspace ID. Your agent will fetch all projects, allowing you to see which ones are billable and their associated clients.

Where do I find my Clockify API Key?

Log in to Clockify, go to **Settings**, and select **My Profile**. Scroll to the bottom to find and generate your API Key.

Clockify + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Clockify MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Clockify tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
