Connector FAQ

Answers about connecting TimeLens to Claude and ChatGPT, what your AI can do, and how to keep your data safe.

  • How do I connect TimeLens to Claude? Go to TimeLens Settings → Connected apps → Add connector to get your MCP URL. Open Claude.ai, go to Settings → Connectors, click "Add custom connector", paste the URL, and sign in to approve access. TimeLens tools will then appear in Claude conversations.

  • What can Claude or ChatGPT do with TimeLens? Once connected, Claude and ChatGPT can read your plan, projects, and time logs, log time against a project, search tasks, move items, set reminders, and help draft reviews using your real TimeLens data. With write permission, they can also add tasks and update items.
  • Can Claude or ChatGPT see my projects? Yes. With read access, your AI can list projects, summarize time by project, and use project context when logging time or answering questions about where your week went.
  • Is my TimeLens data safe when using an AI connector? Yes. Your AI can never permanently delete a task, journal, habit, or time entry - plan items can only be archived, and you can restore them. Anything that removes or sends data, such as archiving a project or sending a Gmail draft, shows you a preview and waits for your confirmation. Those actions are rate-limited and logged. You choose read-only or read and write access, and you can revoke it from Settings at any time.
  • What data does the TimeLens connector share with my AI? Only data from the TimeLens account that approved access, plus records other people shared with it. Results go to Claude or ChatGPT only when you ask your AI to use TimeLens, and that app handles them under its own privacy terms. Calendar and Gmail tools work only after you connect those accounts in TimeLens. The TimeLens Privacy Policy covers the details.
  • What is an MCP connector? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect to external tools and data. The TimeLens MCP connector gives your AI access to your plan, tasks, and time logs - with your permission.

Data & security

How the TimeLens connector handles your data: what your AI can reach, where results go, and how to turn access off.

  • Your account only: The connector reaches the TimeLens account that approved access, plus anything other people shared with it: plans, tasks, notes, comments, projects, habits, journals, meetings, reminders, checklists, planners, and time entries. It never requests health data.
  • Shared only when you ask: Tool results go to the AI app you connected, only when you ask it to use TimeLens. That app handles them under its own privacy terms. TimeLens never asks your AI for passwords or keys to other services.
  • OAuth sign-in with scopes: You sign in to TimeLens and approve access with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. Choose read-only (timelens.read) or read and write (timelens.write). TimeLens stores only a hash of each access token.
  • Calendar and Gmail stay opt-in: Calendar and Gmail tools work only after you connect those accounts inside TimeLens. Drafts never send on their own, and sending goes only to addresses you verified, after you confirm.
  • Encrypted in transit: All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords and sign-in codes are hashed, and any AI provider keys you add are stored encrypted.
  • Revoke in one click: Revoke the connector from Settings → Connected apps and its access and refresh tokens stop working right away. You can also remove it from Claude or ChatGPT.
