How to Use the ClockShark MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor read my live ClockShark timesheets?

The agent pulls time entries using the listtimesheets tool. It injects this data directly into your editor context so you can write scripts against accurate records.

Build custom reporting dashboards in Cursor by pulling live ClockShark field data directly into your codebase via this MCP Server.

Connect ClockShark to Cursor via MCP

The `list_timesheets` tool feeds actual employee clock-ins straight to your editor. You prompt Cursor Agent to write a Python script that calculates overtime, and it uses real data to test the logic. Mock data hides edge cases. When you build scheduling apps, your agent calls `list_schedules` and `list_tasks` to see exactly how your field crew data is structured in the API.

Write API integrations faster

Building a sync between your CRM and field operations takes days if you have to read docs. Your AI client runs `get_employee_details` to inspect the JSON schema directly. Once the agent understands the payload, it writes the exact SQL or API calls you need. It tests the connection by firing a quick `list_employees` command before committing the code.

Generate test records on the fly

Sometimes you need fresh data to test a new webhook. You ask the agent to spin up a dummy project using the `create_job` and `create_task` tools. Setting up test scenarios is instant. The AI populates the job with `create_shift` and `create_timesheet` entries so your local dev server has something to process.

Setup guide

Set up ClockShark MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the ClockShark MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent ClockShark transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the ClockShark tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clockshark-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about ClockShark MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Paste the ClockShark MCP Server configuration provided by Vinkius, then enable Agent mode in your chat window.

The agent pulls time entries using the list_timesheets tool. It injects this data directly into your editor context so you can write scripts against accurate records.

No. The agent handles the HTTP requests behind the scenes. You just ask it to fetch the crew schedule, and it figures out the right endpoints to hit.

Commit your .cursor/mcp.json file to your Git repository. Anyone who checks out the code gets immediate access to the same ClockShark tools.

Employee IDs and schedule logs route through a secure, ephemeral V8 Isolate. The MCP protocol ensures your shift data never persists on Vinkius servers after the request completes.
