FAQ from Harvest Time Tracking MCP Server

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.

What environment variables are required?

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

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.

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

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.
