WakaTime for AI agents

WakaTime automatically tracks coding activity through editor plugins, used by developers and engineering managers who want objective data on time spent coding. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How WakaTime connects.

Users sign in to WakaTime on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s WakaTime OAuth app, or bring your own so the WakaTime consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same WakaTime connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

WakaTime and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use WakaTime with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect WakaTime to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the WakaTime actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect WakaTime?

Users sign in to WakaTime on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s WakaTime OAuth app, or bring your own so the WakaTime consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which WakaTime actions can my agent take?

17 in total: 17 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in WakaTime?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the WakaTime policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call WakaTime too?

Yes. The same WakaTime connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
