Perplexity

Command your timesheets from Claude Desktop

Nobody likes switching tabs to log fifteen minutes of work. You tell Claude what you just finished, and it fires `add_new_time_entry` with the right project tags. Forgot to turn off the clock before lunch? Tell your agent to hit `stop_current_timer`. It checks your active status and caps the entry immediately.

Audit team hours without touching a dashboard

Project managers spend hours chasing down unlogged time. Claude pulls the exact data you need using `list_workspace_users` to see who belongs to which group. From there, it runs `list_user_time_entries` to build a quick summary of everyone's logged hours for the week. You get a text breakdown right in the chat window instead of exporting CSVs.

Pull live project data via MCP Server

Setting up new tasks requires knowing exactly which client codes already exist. Claude grabs your entire active roster via `list_workspace_clients` in seconds. If you need to map out resource allocation, it follows up with `list_workspace_projects`. Your agent cross-references active jobs and tells you exactly where the hours are going.
