How to Use the WakaTime (Coding Stats) MCP in Cursor

Q: How can I pull my total coding time since account creation using WakaTime (Coding Stats) and Cursor?

The getalltimesincetoday tool provides your lifetime totals. Because it's live data, the AI can use this number to justify why a certain piece of code is needed.

Q: Does Cursor support listing my commit history using WakaTime (Coding Stats)?

Yes. The listcommits tool lets you pull granular data on time spent per commit. This detail makes it easy to pinpoint where the team needs more focus.

Q: Can I check my current daily totals using WakaTime (Coding Stats) and Cursor?

You can run listsummaries to get a clean summary of your activity for any given day. This helps track short-term, immediate progress.

Contextual Coding Stats in the Editor

The `get_stats` tool pulls current productivity metrics and makes them available to your agent. Instead of getting a static report, the AI uses this data live while you're writing code. This means when the AI suggests a change, it can reference real numbers—like how long you spent on related commits using `list_commits`—making its suggestions way more accurate.

Syncing External Time into Cursor

Coding doesn't always happen inside the editor. If you work on a separate service or app, use `create_external_duration`. This logs that time so your project stats stay accurate. It also helps pull data from external sources via `list_external_durations`, making sure every hour counts toward your goal.

Reviewing Project Scope and Goals

Keep an eye on your targets with the server's ability to list goals (`list_goals`). You can see what you're close to hitting, right in your coding context. Furthermore, `list_projects` gives you a clean rundown of every project detected. This is great for making sure you're focused on the right area while writing.
