## Introduction

OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Timecamp with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Timecamp via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Timecamp to OpenClaw

1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin

```bash
openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin
```

## What is the Timecamp MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Timecamp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Timecamp account. It provides structured and secure access to your project data, so your agent can perform actions like listing all projects, retrieving project details, organizing project hierarchies, and helping you keep track of ongoing work on your behalf.
- Comprehensive project listing: Instantly retrieve an up-to-date list of all current projects in your Timecamp account, including essential details and attributes.
- Hierarchical project organization: Allow your agent to identify and understand the structure of your projects, recognizing root-level tasks and their relationships.
- Project data analysis: Enable your agent to access project information for reporting, trend analysis, or integration with other productivity tools.
- Effortless integration for workflow automation: Seamlessly connect Timecamp project data with your other tools and assistants for streamlined task management and overview.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TIMECAMP_GET_PROJECTS_LIST` | Get Projects List | Retrieves a list of all projects from TimeCamp. In TimeCamp's API, projects are represented as tasks. This action fetches all tasks and returns only the root-level tasks (those with no parent_id), which represent projects. Note: This API endpoint requires a paid TimeCamp plan. Free plans do not have API access to tasks/projects. Returns project details including: task_id, name, archived status, color, dates, budget information, and assigned users. |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Timecamp MCP server provides comprehensive access to Timecamp operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Timecamp actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Timecamp with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Timecamp directly from your terminal, Web UI, or any messenger app using natural language commands.
Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across TUI, Web UIs, and Messenger apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
- Natural language commands for Timecamp operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Timecamp operations

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Timecamp MCP?

With a standalone Timecamp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Timecamp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Timecamp and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenClaw?

Yes, you can. OpenClaw fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Timecamp tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Timecamp while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Timecamp scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Timecamp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
