Works with AI assistants

Use Clickup: its Clickup Time Tracking API lets you start the timer for a time entry (legacy) in a single step (POST /team/{team_id}/time_entries/start/{timer_id}). Clickup also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

  • What happens to my other running timer if I start one on the legacy path?
  • Can I resume timing a specific existing time entry by its ID?
Say it to your AI assistant
  • Resume timing existing entry {timer_id} in Workspace {team_id} on the legacy path.
