Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

A well-structured Toggl MCP server with proper authentication via API token and reasonable permission scoping. Code quality is good with appropriate error handling and input validation. The server correctly requires TOGGL_API_TOKEN as an environment variable and uses HTTP Basic auth for API calls. Minor findings are low-severity and do not affect the security posture. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Ask Claude things like:

  • "What am I tracking right now?"
  • "How much time did I spend on each project this week?"
  • "Start a timer for writing documentation on the Blog project"
  • "Stop my timer"
  • "What did I work on yesterday?"
