feat: update to cloud-hosted architecture with port 3045

Browse Source 
Switch default port from 3000 to 3045 in Dockerfile and docker-compose.
Add MCP instructions to server for AI client guidance. Update README to
reflect cloud-hosted model with per-user headers, 42 tools, and session
management. Add .mcp.json to .gitignore to prevent leaking credentials.

MCP server for [SolidTime](https://www.solidtime.io/) — the open-source time tracking app. Start/stop timers, manage time entries, projects, clients, tags, and tasks directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
Cloud-hosted MCP server for [SolidTime](https://www.solidtime.io/) — the open-source time tracking app. Start/stop timers, manage time entries, projects, clients, tags, tasks, members, invitations, and organizations directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
## Features
- **22 tools** covering time entries, projects, clients, tags, tasks, and user info
- **42 tools** covering time entries, projects, clients, tags, tasks, members, organizations, project members, and invitations
- **Cloud-hosted** — no local installation required, connect via URL from any MCP client
- **Per-user credentials** — API token and settings passed through MCP client headers
- **Start/stop timers** with automatic active-timer detection
- **Aggregated reports** grouped by day, week, project, client, and more
- **Batch operations** — update or delete multiple time entries at once
- **Aggregated reports** grouped by day, week, month, year, project, client, task, user, billable, description, or tag — with optional sub-grouping
- **Member & invitation management** — list, update, remove members; send and manage invitations
- **Organization management** — view and update organization settings
- **Auto member_id resolution** — no manual configuration needed
- **Timezone support** — display and accept times in your local timezone
- **Built-in MCP instructions** — the server provides contextual guidance to AI clients for optimal tool usage
- **Session management** — per-user sessions with automatic 30-minute expiry
- **Docker-ready** — multi-stage Dockerfile and docker-compose included
- **Actionable error messages** — every error tells you what to do next
- **Zero external dependencies** beyond the MCP SDK (uses native `fetch`)
- Works with self-hosted SolidTime instances and the hosted version
## Quick Start
### Using npx (no install)
The server is hosted in the cloud — just point your MCP client to the server URL and pass your SolidTime credentials as headers.
```bash
npx solidtime-mcp-server
```
### Install globally
```bash
npm install -g solidtime-mcp-server
```
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `SOLIDTIME_API_TOKEN` | Yes | — | Your SolidTime API token |
| `SOLIDTIME_ORGANIZATION_ID` | Yes | — | Your organization UUID |
| `SOLIDTIME_API_URL` | No | `https://app.solidtime.io` | Base URL for self-hosted instances |
Get your API token from **SolidTime > Settings > API**.
