A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Tempo worklogs in Jira. This server provides tools for tracking time and managing worklogs through Tempo's API, making it accessible through Claude, Cursor and other MCP-compatible clients.

• Retrieve Worklogs: Get all worklogs for a specific date range
• Create Worklog: Log time against Jira issues
• Bulk Create: Create multiple worklogs in a single operation
• Edit Worklog: Modify time spent, dates, and descriptions
• Delete Worklog: Remove existing worklogs

• Node.js 18+ (LTS recommended)
• Jira Cloud instance
• Tempo API token
• Jira API token

There are two main ways to use this MCP server:

1. NPX (Recommended for most users): Run directly without installation
2. Local Clone: Clone the repository for development or customization

The easiest way to use this server is via npx without installation:

1. Open your MCP client configuration file:

   • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Jira_Tempo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ivelin-web/tempo-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TEMPO_API_TOKEN": "your_tempo_api_token_here",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_jira_api_token_here",
        "JIRA_EMAIL": "your_email@example.com",
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://your-org.atlassian.net"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart your Claude Desktop client

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ivelin-web/tempo-mcp-server.git
cd tempo-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build TypeScript files
npm run build

There are two ways to run the server locally:

npm run inspect

You can run the server directly with Node by pointing to the built JavaScript file:

1. Open your MCP client configuration file
2. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Jira_Tempo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/tempo-mcp-server/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TEMPO_API_TOKEN": "your_tempo_api_token_here",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_jira_api_token_here",
        "JIRA_EMAIL": "your_email@example.com",
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://your-org.atlassian.net"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart your Claude Desktop client

1. Tempo API Token:

   • Go to Tempo > Settings > API Integration
   • Create a new API token with appropriate permissions

2. Jira API Token:

   • Go to Atlassian API tokens
   • Create a new API token for your account

The server requires the following environment variables:

TEMPO_API_TOKEN     # Your Tempo API token
JIRA_API_TOKEN      # Your Jira API token
JIRA_EMAIL          # Your Jira account email
JIRA_BASE_URL       # Your Jira instance URL (e.g., https://your-org.atlassian.net)

You can set these in your environment or provide them in the MCP client configuration.
