Connect your AI assistant
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant to ProjectPacer, and just ask it to track your time — start a timer, log a meeting, or have it fill your AI Suggestions with entries to approve.
Already chatting with an AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or another — every day? Connect it to ProjectPacer once, and it can handle your time tracking for you. You just talk to it the way you already do:
- "Start a timer on the Acme redesign."
- "Log my 2–3:30 meeting to Internal."
- "What did I track this week?"
- "Look at my week and suggest anything I forgot to log."
That last one is the magic: your assistant can look at what you've been doing and drop ready-made entries into your AI Suggestions, where you approve them with a tap — no typing timesheets.
An AI assistant you already use that can connect to other apps (Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini all can). You connect it yourself, and nothing happens until you sign in and approve your workspace — it starts with zero access.
What it can do for you
Once it's connected, you can ask your assistant to:
- Tell you about your time — "How many hours on Acme this week?", "Is a timer running?", "What did I work on yesterday?"
- Run your timer — start, stop, pause, and resume, just by asking.
- Log and fix time — record a meeting or a block of work you finished, or fix an entry that's wrong.
- Suggest entries for you to approve — the star feature, below.
It always acts as you — it can only see and change what you could in the app, in the one workspace you connect, and it can't touch a locked or approved timesheet.
Have it fill your AI Suggestions
Instead of logging time straight to your timesheet, your assistant can propose an entry — "You spent about an hour walking me through the Q3 deck; want me to add that?" When it does, the entry shows up in AI Suggestions in ProjectPacer, in its own group named after the assistant — Claude suggestions, ChatGPT suggestions, and so on — with a short note on why it was suggested. It can even tag the right project and task.
You review it there and Accept (tweak it first if you like) or Dismiss, exactly like every other suggestion. Nothing lands on your timesheet until you say so.
Because your assistant can also see what ProjectPacer already noticed — the meetings you haven't logged, untracked stretches of work, possible duplicates — it fills the gaps instead of piling on suggestions you've already got.
A proposal is a draft, not an entry. It waits in AI Suggestions, respects your timesheet locks the moment you accept, and only appears while the Assistant suggestions type is turned on under Settings → AI suggestions — turn it off there and proposals stop.
Connect it
The whole thing is a one-time setup — sign in once and you're done.
In ProjectPacer, go to Settings → Apps & integrations → MCP and copy the address shown there (it looks like https://app.projectpacer.com/mcp). That page also has a one-line tip for each assistant.
In your assistant's settings, look for Connectors (Claude, ChatGPT) or add a server, and paste the address. Your assistant opens ProjectPacer in your browser.
Sign in if you aren't already, pick the workspace to connect, and choose Allow. You're sent back to your assistant, connected.
Ask "what did I track this week?" or "start a timer on <your project>." If it answers with your name and workspace, you're all set.
A few apps connect with a pasted key rather than a browser sign-in. For those, ProjectPacer can create a personal access token for you on that same Settings → Apps & integrations → MCP page — copy it into your assistant when it's shown, since it only appears once.
Staying in control
- Disconnect any assistant instantly from Settings → Apps & integrations → MCP, under Connected assistants — access ends the moment you do.
- Your assistant only ever has your own access — a view-only role stays view-only, you can only log time to projects you're allowed to, and locked timesheets stay locked.
- The assistant is one you chose. How you use Claude, ChatGPT, or whichever app is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy, and what you type into a chat is up to you. Here's how ProjectPacer handles your data: Privacy & your data.
