Perplexity

Log hours instantly in Claude Desktop

Stop bouncing between browser tabs just to log your day. With this Armano MCP Server, you tell Claude what you worked on, and it creates the entry on the spot. It uses `create_time_entry` to write the data straight to your system. You can also check your logs without opening another app. Your agent runs `list_time_entries` to pull your history for any date range, keeping your timesheets accurate without the usual manual headache.

Pull live project data into Claude Desktop

Need to know who is assigned to what before you assign a new task? Claude Desktop uses this MCP server to call `list_projects` and `get_project` to get the ground truth on your active workloads. The agent also reads department structures using `list_departments` and matches them to staff roles. You get a clear picture of your team's current capacity right inside your chat window.

Track staff leave requests in Claude Desktop

Planning sprints requires knowing who is actually online. Claude Desktop runs `list_leaves` to see upcoming time off, preventing scheduling conflicts before they happen. It pairs this with `get_employee` and `list_employees` to verify details for specific team members. You get instant answers about availability without digging through HR portals.
