Timix.AI ships with two built-in AI tools you can turn on in seconds, plus an MCP server that lets your own AI assistant query your data without opening the app.
Enable the in-app AI
Go to Organization → Settings and scroll to AI Features. Two toggles control the experience:
- AI Insights Panel (Business) — a contextual panel that surfaces AI-generated analysis, tips, and alerts for the page you’re on (budget and margin health, project status).
- AI Chatbot (Starter) — a Chat button with an “Ask me anything…” box; anyone can ask, in plain language, about hours logged, project status, or team utilization and get a direct answer.
Connect your own AI via the MCP server
Beyond the in-app assistant, Timix.AI exposes an MCP server so your own AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, or a custom agent — can reach your data headlessly. Point your MCP client at:
https://api.timix.ai/api/integration/v1/mcpand authenticate it with a Timix.AI API key (the tmx_… key created on the API Keys page, under Account in the menu; only Owners and Admins can create keys. The MCP server and API keys are included in every plan, Free too). Your assistant can then answer questions grounded in your real time-tracking and project data, no manual exports.
In Claude or ChatGPT you do not need a key: add Timix.AI as a connector, click Connect and approve the sign-in window, choosing the organization and whether the assistant may see sensitive data. The connection acts with your role and does not expire; revoke it any time on the API Keys page.
Control what the AI can see
Access over MCP is governed per key. When you create the key, the “Allow sensitive financial & contact data over MCP” option is off by default — so a connected AI sees revenue, hours, and budgets, but cost rates, profit margins, and contact details (email, phone, VAT) are redacted automatically.
Turn the option on only for a key whose AI you trust with that sensitive data — so you decide exactly how much each connected tool can see.
What to try first
Enable the AI Insights Panel on a project or budget page to see health and margin alerts in context, open the Chat button and ask something like “which projects are over budget this month,” then — when you’re ready to bring your own AI — create an API key and connect it to the MCP endpoint.
