What is the GitScrum Time Tracking MCP Server?
What you can do
- Live time tracking — start, stop, and manage timers on any task with one command
- Manual time logging — record retroactive time entries with exact start/end timestamps and descriptions
- Productivity analytics — access team reports, individual productivity scores, and timeline visualizations
- Budget monitoring — check budget burn-down, consumption breakdowns, risk alerts, and project budget health
- Daily standups — get automated standup summaries, yesterday's completions, current blockers, and stuck tasks
- Team insights — review contributor activity scores, weekly digests, and per-member time breakdowns
How it works
- Subscribe to the GitScrum Time Tracking integration from the marketplace
- Enter your GitScrum API token and company slug
- Start tracking time conversationally — ask your agent to start a timer, log hours, or review team productivity in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Your agent eliminates the friction of manual time entry and gives you instant visibility into team performance.
Who is this for?
- Developers — start and stop timers without leaving the IDE or opening a browser
- Team leads — review standup summaries and identify blockers through natural conversation
- Project managers — monitor budget burn-down and track billable hours across projects

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent start and stop timers on tasks without me opening GitScrum?
Yes! Use start_timer with any task UUID to begin tracking, and stop_timer to end it. Only one timer can be active at a time. Use list_tasks or my_today_tasks first to find the task you want to track. The agent handles the complete flow in seconds.
Can I get a standup summary without attending the meeting?
Absolutely. Use standup_summary for the daily overview, completed_yesterday for what the team shipped, standup_blockers for current impediments, and team_status for per-member breakdown. It's your entire standup in 4 quick queries.
Can the agent flag projects that are over budget?
Yes. Use projects_at_risk to see all projects approaching or exceeding their budget threshold. Then drill into any project with budget_overview for total vs consumed, budget_burndown for trend analysis, and budget_alerts for active threshold warnings.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
