GitHub Copilot MCP Integration — Control Teetrack from Copilot

Q: What is MCP and how does it work with GitHub Copilot?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. The Teetrack MCP server exposes 67 tools that Copilot can invoke to manage time entries, projects, clients, and reports in your Teetrack workspace.

Q: Why track time from my code editor?

Developers spend most of their day in the editor. Tracking time without context-switching reduces friction and makes it more likely you will actually log your hours.

Q: Does this work with VS Code only?

It works with any editor that supports GitHub Copilot with MCP tool calling. VS Code has the most mature support, but other editors with Copilot Chat can also work.

Q: Is my Teetrack data shared with GitHub?

The MCP server runs locally and communicates with your Teetrack instance using your API token. Copilot sends tool calls to the local server. Your time tracking data stays under your control.

Q: Can I still use the Teetrack web interface?

Yes. MCP via Copilot is an additional access method. Use it for quick actions during coding and the web interface for detailed reports and configuration.

Use GitHub Copilot to manage your Teetrack time tracking with 67 MCP tools — right from your IDE.

Connect Teetrack to GitHub Copilot via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Track time, manage projects, and log hours without leaving your editor or Copilot chat.

Requirements

A Teetrack account with API access
GitHub Copilot subscription with MCP support
VS Code or a compatible editor with Copilot Chat
The Teetrack MCP server installed and configured

How to Connect

Step 1: Install the Teetrack MCP server

Install the Teetrack MCP server package. It exposes 67 tools that Copilot can call to interact with your Teetrack workspace.

Step 2: Configure your Teetrack API credentials

Set your Teetrack API URL and authentication token so the MCP server can connect to your workspace.

Step 3: Add the MCP server to your VS Code or IDE configuration

Register the Teetrack MCP server in your editor settings so GitHub Copilot discovers the time tracking tools when using Copilot Chat or agent mode.

Step 4: Track time through Copilot Chat

Ask Copilot things like "Start a timer for the API refactor" or "Log 1.5 hours on bug fixes today." Copilot calls the right Teetrack MCP tools directly from your editor.

What you can do

Track time without leaving the editor: Start and stop timers, log time entries, and check your tracked hours — all through Copilot Chat in VS Code or your preferred editor.
Context-aware time logging: Copilot knows what code you are working on. Ask it to log time on the project you are currently editing for faster, more accurate entries.
Quick project and report queries: Ask Copilot for your weekly summary, project breakdown, or remaining budget without switching to the Teetrack web interface.
Manage projects and clients from your IDE: Create new projects, update client details, or check billable totals — all through conversational commands in Copilot Chat.
