Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for using Harvest Time Tracking MCP Server?

You need Node.js >= 18 (or Bun for development), a Harvest account with API access, a Personal Access Token from Harvest, and your Harvest Account ID.

2

What environment variables are required?

The server requires three environment variables: `HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID`, `HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN`, and `HARVEST_BASE_URL`.

3

How do I fix `spawn npx ENOENT` or `env: node: No such file or directory`?

This error occurs when your MCP client cannot find `npx` or `node` in its PATH. Use the full path to `npx` (found via `which npx`) and include your Node bin directory in the `PATH` environment variable inside the config.

4

Which MCP clients are supported?

The README explicitly provides configuration examples for Claude Desktop and Cursor IDE. Other MCP clients may work but are not documented.

5

Can I run the server locally for development?

Yes. Clone the repository, run `npm install` and `npm run build`, then point your MCP client config to the local `dist/index.js` using the `node` command.
