Core Workflows

1. Create Time Entries

Log time with project, task, and tag associations, plus billable status.

Tool: CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY

Log 2 hours of work on project 64a687e2 in workspace 64a687e3 starting at 9am UTC today with description "API development"

Key parameters:

• workspaceId (required) -- workspace where the entry is created
• start (required) -- ISO 8601 start time (e.g., 2026-02-11T09:00:00Z)
• end -- ISO 8601 end time; omit to create a running timer
• projectId -- associate with a project
• taskId -- associate with a task
• description -- work description (0-3000 chars)
• tagIds -- array of tag IDs
• billable -- whether the entry is billable
• customFieldValues -- array of custom field entries with customFieldId and value

2. Query Time Entries

Retrieve historical time entries for reporting, auditing, and invoicing.

Tool: CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES

Get all time entries for user abc123 in workspace xyz789 from January 2026

Key parameters:

• workspaceId (required) -- workspace to query
• userId (required) -- user whose entries to retrieve
• start / end -- ISO 8601 date range filters
• project -- filter by project ID
• task -- filter by task ID
• tags -- comma-separated tag IDs
• description -- text filter (partial match)
• hydrated -- set true to get full project/task/tag objects instead of just IDs
• in-progress -- set true to return only the running timer
• page / page-size -- pagination (default 50 per page)

3. Delete Time Entries

Remove erroneous, duplicate, or cancelled time entries.

Tool: CLOCKIFY_DELETE_TIME_ENTRY

Delete time entry 5b715448 from workspace 64a687e3

• Requires workspaceId and id (the time entry ID)
• Use for cleanup of bad imports or duplicates

4. Manage Workspaces

List all workspaces the authenticated user belongs to.

Tool: CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES

Show me all my Clockify workspaces

• Optional roles filter -- array of roles like ["WORKSPACE_ADMIN", "OWNER"]
• Use this to discover workspace IDs before creating or querying entries

5. User Information

Retrieve current user details and list workspace members.

Tools: CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO, CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE

Who am I logged in as? Then list all users in workspace 64a687e3

• CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO returns the authenticated user's profile (no parameters needed)
• CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE requires workspaceId; supports name, email filters and pagination (page, page-size max 100)

6. Running Timer Management

Start a timer by omitting end in create, or check for running entries.

Tools: CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY, CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES

Start a timer on project abc in workspace xyz with description "Working on bug fix"

• Create without end to start a running timer
• Use CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES with in-progress: true to check if a timer is running

---

Known Pitfalls

• Workspace and user IDs are required: Most Clockify tools require both workspaceId and userId. Always call CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES and CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO first to resolve these IDs.
• ISO 8601 timestamps: All time parameters must be in ISO 8601 format with timezone (e.g., 2026-02-11T09:00:00Z). Omitting the timezone causes unpredictable behavior.
• Running timers: Only one timer can run at a time. Creating a new entry without end will fail if another timer is already active. Stop the existing timer first.
• Pagination defaults: CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES defaults to 50 entries per page. For full exports, loop through pages until no more results are returned.
• Tag IDs are workspace-scoped: Tag IDs from one workspace cannot be used in another. Always resolve tags within the target workspace context.
