WakaTime MCP

[O-Q]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, accessing detailed WakaTime statistics requires visiting the web dashboard or making manual API
calls. While the dashboard is excellent, it forces a context switch away from the IDE. With the rise of AI
assistants integrated directly into editors (like Continue, Codeium, etc.), there's a new opportunity to
interact with development data in a more conversational and seamless way. These tools often use a local
server backend, like one that implements the Model Catalog and Provider (MCP) protocol.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose that the wakatime-cli be enhanced with a new mode that runs it as an MCP-compliant server. This
server would act as a specialized AI assistant for querying personal or team-based WakaTime data using
natural language.

How it would work:

1. A user would run a command like wakatime-cli --serve-mcp.
2. The CLI starts a local server that listens for requests from MCP clients (e.g., an IDE extension).
3. A user could then ask questions in their MCP compatible programs like:
   • "How many hours did I code last week?"
   • "What was my most used language yesterday?"
   • "Show me the time breakdown for my 'wakatime-cli' project."
   • "What was the total coding activity for my team on Project X this month?"
4. The wakatime-cli server would be responsible for:
   • Providing tools (functions) via MCP protocol using WakaTime API calls

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Building a Separate Tool: A standalone tool could achieve this, but integrating it directly into the
  official wakatime-cli would provide a more robust, secure, and streamlined solution for all users. It would
  become an official, trusted entry point for this kind of interaction.
