Code against live Timeero data

Feed real-time employee data directly into your editor using `list_timeero_users` and `get_timeero_user`. Your agent can now write code that validates against actual staff IDs. This is better than using mock files. You get live responses, allowing you to build features that react to real-world field conditions.

Sync jobs and tasks in Cursor

Use `list_timeero_jobs` to pull all active projects and `get_timeero_job` to grab specific requirements. You can also fetch task lists via `list_timeero_tasks` or `get_timeero_task` to keep your dev environment updated. Your agent uses these tools to understand the scope of work. It writes better scripts when it knows exactly which tasks are assigned to which jobs.

Audit schedules and timesheets

Fetch historical logs by calling `list_timeero_schedules` or `list_timeero_timesheets`. Use `get_timeero_schedule` or `get_timeero_timesheet` to pull specific records for debugging your logic. This allows you to test your payroll or scheduling algorithms against real data. It ensures your logic holds up before you deploy it to production.

Setup guide

Set up Timeero MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Timeero MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Timeero transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Timeero tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timeero-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

Common questions about Timeero MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global config. Add the server details there, and Cursor will make the tools available in your chat window.

Yes, once configured, the agent can call these tools independently. It will fetch Timeero data to inform the code it writes for you.

Yes, the data stays within your local session. Only the specific records you fetch are handled by the agent during your coding task.

It does. Since it fetches data from the live API, you need to be online to get the latest timesheets or job updates.

GPS coordinates are treated as standard strings. The server fetches them, and they are only visible to the agent you authorize to read them.
