MCP Server For RescueTime Productivity Data
Pull RescueTime focus and app-usage metrics into your agent so you can review how shipping weeks actually spent your attention.
Overview
rescuetime-mcp is a MCP server for the Grow phase that surfaces RescueTime productivity and time-tracking data to your AI agent.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP bridge to RescueTime account API data
- Requires RESCUETIME_API_KEY from rescuetime.com Account → API
- v0.1.0 .mcpb release for quick Claude Code / Cursor registration
- Lets agents answer “where did my dev time go?” without leaving the editor
- Pairs with solo-builder retros on launch crunches and support weeks
- Server version 0.1.0 with stdio transport via published .mcpb artifact
- 1 required secret: RESCUETIME_API_KEY
- Single-purpose MCP focused on RescueTime productivity API data
What problem does it solve?
Builders lose visibility into whether calendar time matches shipping priorities because productivity data sits in a separate dashboard.
Who is it for?
Solo founders who already run RescueTime and want agent-driven weekly focus reviews without exporting CSVs manually.
Skip if: Teams needing product funnel, revenue, or error-rate analytics—use app analytics and monitoring MCPs instead.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add rescuetime-mcp, your agent can fetch and discuss RescueTime metrics inside your normal coding workflow.
- Agent-queryable RescueTime productivity datasets from your account
- Conversational summaries of app and category time without manual exports
- Repeatable personal analytics checks aligned to Grow phase reviews
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Productivity telemetry belongs in Grow when you measure habits and iteration loops after you are already building—not in raw ideation. Analytics fits because RescueTime exports time-on-task and category breakdowns you chart against goals, not infra uptime.
How it compares
Personal productivity analytics MCP, not team chat or application performance monitoring.
