TimeBase MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that lets a coding agent (Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) explore and query TimeBase: list streams, read schemas and symbols, preview messages, run QQL queries, and inspect server status and activity.

The server can run two ways:

  • Locally, your agent launches timebase-mcp as a local process (stdio) that connects to your TimeBase.
  • Remotely, you deploy timebase-mcp as a shared HTTP service that multiple users connect their agents to.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
uvx timebase-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-epam-timebase-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "timebase-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
