…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Toggl Plan MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Toggl Plan to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Coordinate Timeline Changes with the MCP Server
The `create_milestone` tool lets a specialist agent drop a new milestone diamond onto the timeline. Another key function is `create_timeline_task`, where agents input names, start dates, and end dates to build out project segments. If the data gets messed up, an agent can use `delete_timeline_task`. Remember, that action is irreversible, so your moderator agent needs to confirm it first.
Gathering Project Context with Toggl Plan
The crew can build a full scope report by calling `get_timeline_view` with specific date ranges. It pulls the visual data needed for analysis. For lists, agents use `list_workspace_projects`, `list_workspace_members`, and `list_workspace_tags` to map out all available resources. Need just one task's history? The dedicated agent calls `get_task_details`.
Updating Plans with the MCP Server
When a project shifts, an agent uses `update_timeline_task`, passing in a structured JSON object to modify existing segments. This is crucial for dynamic planning. For checking what's up, `list_milestones` gives a clean list of all markers. You can also use `list_workspace_tags` if you need the latest categorization structure.
