# You already work in Claude. Now it can track and bill for it.

AI is time-blind. Claude does not know what time it is, let alone where yours went. Accordio gives it eyes: your Mac watches the workday, attributes it to clients, and Claude reads it back to you.

**Track, bill, invoice from Claude.** The only time tracker where the AI sees the work and sends the invoice.

Accordio is an independent product that works with Claude through MCP, the open connector standard. It is not affiliated with Anthropic.

## Connector

- Endpoint: `https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp` (Model Context Protocol, streamable HTTP)
- Add it in Claude: https://claude.ai/settings/connectors
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http accordio https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp`
- macOS tracker: `brew install --cask accordio-ai/tap/accordio`
- Authorization: scoped OAuth, approved by the account owner, revocable in Accordio settings

## Set it up

### Claude

Two minutes in the browser. Add it once and it follows your account everywhere: web, desktop, phone.

1. **Open your Claude connector settings** Settings, then Connectors. This link goes straight there.

[Open connector settings](https://claude.ai/settings/connectors)

2. **Add a custom connector and paste this URL** Claude asks for a remote MCP server URL. This is it.

```
https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp
```

3. **Sign in with Accordio and approve** You approve exactly what Claude gets: read your tracked time, log entries, draft documents. Nothing else is on the list.

### Claude Code

Paste one prompt and Claude Code sets itself up: connector added, tracker installed.

1. **Copy and send this to Claude Code** It adds the connector, installs the tracker, and reports back when it is ready.

```
Set up Accordio for me:
1. run `claude mcp add --transport http accordio https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp`
2. run `brew install --cask accordio-ai/tap/accordio`
3. tell me when it is connected, then show me what I worked on today
```

2. **Connect and start tracking** Approve the sign-in it opens, then ask "what did I work on today?". On a fresh account it offers to create your first client and start a timer on this session.

### Codex

Same MCP server, same tools. Codex wires it up itself from one prompt.

1. **Copy and send this to Codex** It adds the connector to its own config, installs the tracker, and reports back.

```
Set up Accordio for me:
1. add an MCP server named "accordio": transport http, url https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp, no auth headers (OAuth handles sign-in)
2. run `brew install --cask accordio-ai/tap/accordio`
3. tell me when it is connected, then show me what I worked on today
```

2. **Connect and start tracking** Approve the sign-in it opens, then ask "what did I work on today?". Answers come from your real tracked time.

### OpenClaw

Point it at the connector. One message and OpenClaw sets itself up.

1. **Copy and send this to OpenClaw** It adds the connector, installs the tracker, and tells you when it is ready.

```
Set up Accordio for me:
1. add an MCP server named "accordio": transport http, url https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp, no auth headers (OAuth handles sign-in)
2. run `brew install --cask accordio-ai/tap/accordio`
3. tell me when it is connected, then show me what I worked on today
```

2. **Connect and start tracking** Approve the sign-in it opens, then ask what you worked on today.

### Hermes

Works over plain MCP. Any host that speaks streamable HTTP can hold the connector.

1. **Add a remote MCP server and paste this URL** No auth headers. OAuth handles the sign-in on first use.

```
https://mcp.accordio.ai/mcp
```

2. **Approve and ask** Approve the Accordio sign-in the first time a tool runs, then ask what you worked on today.

## What it will not do

Claude drafts. You send.

**Claude can**

- Read the time your Mac tracked, and the clients and projects it belongs to.
- Start and stop timers, and log hours you tell it about.
- Reassign tracked entries to the right project, and fix ones you say are wrong.
- Create a client or a project, when you ask for one.
- Read invoices, contracts, proposals, tasks and expenses, and file the ones you dictate.
- Read your calendar and put events on it. It never emails an invitation.
- Draft an invoice, a proposal or a contract, and hand you the link.

**Claude cannot**

- Send anything. No invoice, no email, no message leaves Accordio from a chat.
- Sign anything. Signatures happen in Accordio, by the person signing.
- Delete anything. There is no delete verb on the connector at all.
- Take a payment, or move money in any direction.

- The connection is scoped OAuth. You see the exact list before you approve it, and you revoke it in Accordio settings whenever you like.
- Accordio does not train models on your work.
- The macOS tracker is open source. Read the capture engine before you run it.

## FAQ

### What can Claude actually see?

The time entries your tracker produced, the clients and projects they are attributed to, and a summary of your open invoices and projects. It sees the shape of your workday, not your screen: raw window titles and screenshots never leave your Mac.

### Is this an Anthropic product?

No. Accordio is an independent product that works with Claude through MCP, the open connector standard. There is no partnership, and Accordio is not affiliated with Anthropic.

### Can Claude send an invoice on its own?

No, and that is deliberate. Claude drafts; you send. Every write tool hands back a link into Accordio where you check the numbers and press send yourself. There is no send, sign or delete verb on the connector.

### Does my data train a model?

No. Accordio does not train models on your work, and your tracked time is not used to improve anything you did not ask for.

### What does it cost?

Tracking and asking are free forever: the tracker, your full history, timers and every read tool. Drafting invoices, proposals and contracts is Legend, $39 a month or $29 a month billed yearly, with a 14-day trial.

### Do I need the Mac app?

Only for passive tracking, which is macOS-only today. Without it you can still start timers and log hours by asking Claude, and calendar meetings fill in the gaps server-side.

### Does it work on my phone?

Yes, through the Claude mobile app once the connector is on your account, and through WhatsApp and Telegram if you would rather message it. Results are formatted for a phone screen. The passive tracking itself still runs on the Mac.

### What about ChatGPT?

Same server, not submitted yet. It follows a few weeks after launch, once the Claude flow has been through real users.

### Is the tracker really open source?

Yes. The macOS capture engine, the idle trap, the meeting detector and the categorizer are published, so you can read exactly what is recorded before you install it.

### How do I disconnect?

Accordio settings, connected apps, revoke. The tools stop answering within a minute, and your tracked time stays exactly where it is.
