Frequently asked questions
Can Claude track my time?

In Claude Desktop: Customize → Connectors → Add Custom Connector → enter https://mcp.rize.io/mcp → Connect and sign in with Rize. In Claude Code: run 'claude mcp add --transport http rize https://mcp.rize.io/mcp', then /mcp to authenticate. Setup takes about a minute.
What can I ask Claude about my time data?
Anything about your tracked time: where your hours went, which projects are over budget, billable vs. non-billable breakdowns, team capacity, and profitability by client.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Rize MCP uses OAuth — you approve Claude's access explicitly, and no time data leaves Rize until you authorize it. Rize never shares screen content, keystrokes, or prompt text.
Does Rize for Claude cost extra?
Rize MCP is included on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans and during the free trial at no additional cost.
