MCP Server Terms of Use

These MCP Terms form part of your Agreement with TimeChimp. They apply as soon as you connect an external tool, such as an AI assistant or development environment, to your TimeChimp account via the MCP Server.

What is the MCP Server?

The MCP Server is a connection between TimeChimp and external applications through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Through this connection, an MCP Client (for example Cursor, Claude Desktop, or a custom integration) can retrieve your TimeChimp data and, depending on your settings, modify it.

By approving the connection, you accept these MCP Terms.

Beta notice – TimeChimp MCP Server (Preview Release)

The TimeChimp MCP Server is currently provided as a beta feature (“Beta” or “Preview Release”). The Beta is made available for evaluation and feedback purposes and has not yet reached general availability. By accepting these MCP Terms you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. (a)Pre-release status. The Beta may contain defects, errors, and instabilities not present in a generally available release. TimeChimp does not warrant that the Beta will operate uninterrupted, error-free, or in accordance with any service-level or uptime commitments set out elsewhere in the Agreement. Such commitments are expressly excluded for the Beta period.
2. (b)Subject to change or discontinuation. TimeChimp reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to modify, limit, suspend, or permanently discontinue the Beta or any feature thereof. Any functionality available during the Beta period may be altered, removed, or made subject to additional terms or pricing upon general availability.
3. (c)Limitation of liability. Without prejudice to the limitations of liability set out in the Agreement, TimeChimp shall not be liable for any loss, damage, data corruption, or other harm arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Beta. Use of the Beta is entirely at your own risk.
4. (d)Transition to general availability. When the MCP Server reaches general availability, updated terms and conditions may apply. You will be notified of any material changes in accordance with the Agreement.
5. (e)Support. During the Beta period, TimeChimp will endeavour to provide reasonable assistance in relation to defects or issues with the MCP Server, but does so on a best-efforts basis only. The operational support commitments set out in the general terms and conditions, and any response-time or service-level commitments applicable to the Software generally, do not apply to the Beta. TimeChimp encourages Beta participants to report defects and potential security vulnerabilities through TimeChimp’s standard support channels. TimeChimp is not obligated to provide a fix or workaround within any particular timeframe.
6. (f)Feedback and defect reporting. TimeChimp encourages you to report defects, errors, and potential security vulnerabilities encountered during the Beta period. Feedback you submit in connection with the Beta may be used by TimeChimp for any purpose, without restriction, compensation, or obligation. By submitting Feedback, you grant TimeChimp a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into the Software or any related product or service, except for Confidential information and Personal data. TimeChimp is not obligated to implement any Feedback. TimeChimp will handle any Customer Data or Confidential information contained in Feedback in accordance with the general terms and conditions.
