FAQ

What Client ID should I use?

It depends on the platform:

Platform	Client ID
Claude (Claude.ai, Desktop, Code)	`usetyms-mcp-claude`
ChatGPT	`usetyms-mcp-chatgpt`
Perplexity	`usetyms-mcp-perplexity`
Any other MCP client	`usetyms-mcp-client`

Enter the matching ID whenever the platform asks for a Client ID after you provide the MCP URL. See Authentication.

Can I use sandbox?

This documentation covers production MCP: https://mcp.usetyms.com and https://mcp.usetyms.com/full.

What’s the difference between Tyms and Adam?

Tyms is the accounting platform. Adam is Tyms’ AI agent used on AI create tools (for example: “create invoice from a description”). Manual create/update tools talk to the Tyms API directly.

Why do I only see list/get tools?

You’re connected to the read-only endpoint (/mcp). Switch the connector URL to /full for write tools. See Read-only vs full.

Does MCP replace the Tyms API?

No. MCP is an assistant-friendly layer over Tyms business operations. Developers building custom apps should still use the Tyms Developer API.

Which clients are officially supported today?

Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity each have a dedicated Client ID. Other MCP clients may work with usetyms-mcp-client if they support remote Streamable HTTP + OAuth. See Other clients.

Do I need to install a package?

No. Tyms MCP is a hosted remote server. You connect over HTTPS with OAuth — there is no local MCP package to install.
