Verify API health inside Cursor

The `check_timeghost_status` tool lets your editor quickly verify that your billing integration is online before you write any code. This ensures you never start a session with a disconnected tracking server. Cursor runs this check in the background so you can focus on building. If there is a connection issue, your editor alerts you before you attempt to log any hours.

Pull live project data into your Cursor agent

The `list_timeghost_projects` tool fetches your active client initiatives directly into your workspace. Combined with `list_timeghost_clients`, your agent can automatically match your current code repository to the correct billing account. This prevents you from billing code changes to the wrong client. You can also query `get_timeghost_project` to check specific budget limits before starting a new development sprint.

Track tasks and log entries via this MCP Server

The `list_timeghost_tasks` tool lets your agent find specific work items associated with your current repository. Once you finish a feature, the agent can use `list_timeghost_entries` to see what you logged today, or use `get_timeghost_entry` to check a specific submission. You can also use `get_timeghost_task` to read the exact requirements of a ticket, or pull team data via `list_timeghost_members` and `list_timeghost_workspaces` to see who is assigned. This keeps your entire development loop inside one editor window.

Setup guide

Set up timeghost 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 timeghost 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 timeghost transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the timeghost tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

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