What is the Wakapi (WakaTime Alternative) MCP Server?
Connect your Wakapi instance to any AI agent to monitor your development workflow through natural conversation. Wakapi is a self-hosted, open-source alternative to WakaTime that tracks your coding activity across different editors and languages.
What you can do
- Coding Statistics — Retrieve detailed stats including languages, editors, and operating systems used over various time ranges using
get_stats. - Activity Summaries — Fetch granular summaries of your work for specific date ranges or individual projects with
get_summaries. - Project Listing — View all projects you have tracked time for using
list_projectsto keep your portfolio or billable hours organized. - Heartbeat Tracking — Manually send coding activity heartbeats via
send_heartbeatsto ensure your timeline is always accurate.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Wakapi API URL and API Key
- Start analyzing your coding habits from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Individual Developers — track your own productivity and see which languages you spend the most time on.
- Engineering Managers — get high-level summaries of team activity and project distribution.
- Freelancers — accurately report time spent on specific client projects without manual timers.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see my coding statistics for the last 7 days?
You can use the get_stats tool and specify 'last_7_days' as the range. The agent will return a breakdown of your languages, editors, and projects for that period.
Can I get a list of all projects I have ever tracked in Wakapi?
Yes! Use the list_projects tool. It will retrieve all project names associated with your account, allowing you to see the scope of your tracked work.
Is it possible to track activity for a specific date range?
Absolutely. Use the get_summaries tool by providing a 'start' and 'end' date in YYYY-MM-DD format. You can even filter this by a specific project name.
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.
