End-to-End Clockify Logging with Cline
The `add_new_time_entry` tool in this MCP Server lets Cline log your development hours to Clockify without your manual input. When Cline completes a coding task, it immediately posts the exact duration to your workspace. Your Cline agent uses `stop_current_timer` to close out previous tasks before logging the new Clockify entry. This keeps your Cline-generated billing records accurate to the minute.
Automated Project Mapping in Cline
The `list_workspace_projects` tool fetches your active Clockify projects so Cline can tag your work correctly. Cline matches your current VS Code workspace files to your billing categories. By querying `list_workspace_clients`, the agent ensures the work goes to the right Clockify client account. You never have to copy-paste project IDs into Cline again.
Cline Team Activity Auditing
The `list_user_time_entries` tool lets Cline retrieve recent Clockify logs for any developer on your team. Analyzing these Clockify entries helps Cline summarize weekly progress. By using `list_workspace_users`, Cline maps those entries to actual Clockify team members. You get clean Clockify status updates right in your Cline sidebar.
