Audit project margins inside Claude Desktop

The `get_cor_project` tool pulls real-time financial health and project status directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. You don't have to open a separate browser tab to see if a job is eating your margin. Your agent reads the raw project data and tells you exactly where you stand. If a project looks like a money pit, you can immediately run `list_cor_time_entries` to see who logged hours where. This lets you spot leaks before they ruin your quarterly numbers. Everything runs over a secure local connection so your agency's financial data stays private.

Spin up new client jobs on the fly

The `create_cor_project` tool lets your agent set up fresh client projects without you clicking through the COR web dashboard. You just tell Claude Desktop what the client needs and the budget. The MCP Server handles the API handshake to build the project shell instantly. Once the project is live, you can call `list_cor_task_types` to map out the work. Your agent can then structure the technical pipelines based on your agency's standard templates. It saves you from manual data entry every single Monday morning.

Balance agency workload inside your chat

The `list_cor_team_members` tool exposes your entire team roster and their current workloads to your agent. When a new job lands, you can ask Claude Desktop who has the bandwidth to take it on. No more guessing who is overbooked. You can drill down further with `list_cor_tasks` to see what each developer or designer is actually holding. It gives you the raw data needed to reassign tasks and keep your margins healthy.
