Short answer

Can I use my AI to set up my TrackingTime projects?

Yes. You can instruct your agent to generate new projects and individual tasks directly in your account. This lets you turn a rough plan into a structured workspace. Here is how it works.

The results.

Where your work lands.

Your agent handles the manual entry so you can focus on the actual work.

STRUCTURE

New project setup

The AI creates a fresh project container in TrackingTime. You get a clean space to start timing immediately.

DETAILS

Task generation

The agent populates your projects with specific tasks. It breaks down your high-level goals into actionable items.

REFINEMENT

Task updates

If a task name or description needs a change, your AI handles the edit. It keeps your project details current.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI does the heavy lifting, but you still decide if the project structure looks right. You maintain final control.

The workflow

What your AI does when you give it a plan.

Your agent translates your natural language instructions into specific actions in TrackingTime.

  1. Initialize project

    The AI takes your project name and creates the top-level container in your account.

    create_project

  2. Add tasks

    Once the project exists, the agent adds the specific tasks you've outlined.

    create_task

  3. Edit details

    If you need to change a task name or description, the AI corrects it for you.

    update_task

  4. Finalize setup

    The agent confirms the new structure is live and ready for you to start tracking.

    create_task

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete projects for me?

    No. The AI can only create or update projects and tasks. Deleting data is a manual action you must perform yourself.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my existing project settings?

    No. The AI can only update specific tasks. It does not have the ability to change global project settings or account configurations.

  • 03

    Can the AI create tasks in a project that doesn't exist yet?

    No. The AI needs to create the project first. You should ask it to create the project before asking it to add tasks to it.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my time logs?

    No. This specific set of tools is for managing the structure of your work. It does not interact with your time entries or logs.

  • 05

    Do I have to use a specific AI to do this?

    No. You can use any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf once the connection is active.
