Full read-write Claude connector for Teamwork

Make Claude create tasks and log time in Teamwork

Stop clicking through each project tab to keep work moving. Claude creates tasks in the right list, sets assignees and due dates, logs time, and posts comments where the project already lives, and deletes only once you approve.

Teamwork is a project management platform built for client and agency work, where teams plan projects with task lists, milestones, time tracking, and billing. People want Claude to do more than read status: to create and update tasks, log time, and keep projects moving on their behalf.

What is a Teamwork MCP server?

A Teamwork MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Teamwork's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can tasks, projects, and docs inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.

What can Teamwork's current connector do today?

Today, any available Teamwork connection for Claude tends to be read-leaning or a thin slice: Claude can look up projects, tasks, and milestones, but creating tasks, assigning them, posting comments, and logging time are often limited or unavailable. A custom Teamwork connector adds those write actions with scoped, human-in-the-loop controls.

What does full read-write Teamwork access unlock?

Full read-write Teamwork access lets Claude create tasks in the right task list, set assignees and due dates, log time entries, post comments, and update milestones as work completes. The project upkeep that used to mean clicking through each tab happens where the work already lives, once you approve.

  • Create a task in a chosen task list with an assignee, due date, and description
  • Update task fields like priority, status, or progress from a discussion
  • Log a time entry against a task or project with a note and duration
  • Add a comment to a task or message to capture context for the team
  • Set or change the assignee and due date on existing tasks
  • Mark tasks or milestones complete as work progresses

Can Claude create and assign tasks in Teamwork?

Yes. Creating and assigning tasks in Teamwork is exactly what a full read-write connector adds. Claude can create a task in the right task list, set the assignee and due date, write a description, and update fields like priority, status, or progress as work is discussed.

Can Claude log time entries in Teamwork?

Yes, Claude can log a time entry against a task or project in Teamwork with a note and duration, then add a comment to capture context for the team. Routine writes like this can run directly, while you keep control over which actions stay automatic and which pause for confirmation.

Will Claude delete tasks in Teamwork without my approval?

No. Deleting a task in Teamwork is a gated action that runs only after you confirm it, so nothing is removed by surprise. The connector authenticates as your account and inherits your existing permissions, so it never reaches projects, tasks, or time entries you cannot already access.

How a Teamwork connector works

We build a small MCP server that authenticates to Teamwork with OAuth or a scoped API key and the narrowest permissions the work needs. Read tools (search, look up projects, tasks, and milestones) and write tools (create, assign, comment, log time) are separated, and destructive actions like deleting a task require your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own Teamwork account already has.

Frequently asked questions

Can Claude create and update Teamwork tasks, not just read them?
Yes. A custom Teamwork connector exposes write tools, so Claude can create a task in the right task list, set the assignee and due date, update fields, and post comments. Any default connection tends to lean toward reading and search, which is why creating and updating tasks needs a purpose-built connector.
Will Claude delete tasks or log time without my approval?
No. Destructive actions like deleting a task are gated and require your confirmation before they run. Routine writes such as creating a task or logging a time entry can be allowed directly, while you decide which actions stay automatic and which always pause for a confirmation step before anything is recorded.
Does the Teamwork connector get more access than I have?
No. The connector authenticates as your account through OAuth or a scoped key and inherits your existing permissions. It can only see and change the projects, tasks, and time entries you already have access to, and it never grants Claude more access to your account than you have yourself.
