Harvest

The Harvest agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Harvest through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.

Connector for the Harvest time-tracking and invoicing API (v2). Provides read access to time tracking data including users, clients, projects, tasks, time entries, invoices, estimates, expenses, and more. Harvest is a cloud-based time tracking and invoicing solution that helps teams track time, manage projects, and streamline invoicing.

Example questions

The Harvest connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.

  • List all users in Harvest
  • Show me all active projects
  • List all clients
  • Show me recent time entries
  • List all invoices
  • Show me all tasks
  • List all expense categories
  • Get company information
  • How many hours were logged last week?
  • Which projects have the most time entries?
  • Show me all unbilled time entries
  • What are the active projects for a specific client?
  • List all overdue invoices
  • Which users logged the most hours this month?

Unsupported questions

The Harvest connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.

  • Create a new time entry in Harvest
  • Update a project budget
  • Delete an invoice
  • Start a timer for a task

Installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk

Usage

Connectors can run in open source or hosted mode.

Open source

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.harvest import HarvestConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.harvest.models import HarvestPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig

connector = HarvestConnector(
auth_config=HarvestPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig(
token="<Your Harvest personal access token>",
account_id="<Your Harvest account ID>"
)
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@HarvestConnector.tool_utils
async def harvest_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, also set organization_id.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.harvest import HarvestConnector, AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = HarvestConnector(
auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>",
organization_id="<your_organization_id>", # Optional for multi-org clients
airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@HarvestConnector.tool_utils
async def harvest_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})
