Track Active Timers Inside Claude Desktop

This MCP server hooks your AI client straight into your Everhour account. You ask Claude what your team is working on right now, and it runs `get_currently_running_timer` to pull the active task and start time. No switching tabs to check who is burning hours on what. The server maps out your entire organizational structure. Claude can fire off `list_organization_team_members` to pull roles, then immediately cross-reference that with `list_team_time_records` for a specific date range. You just type a natural question, and Claude builds the timesheet.

Audit Project Budgets Fast

Your agent tracks project financial health. It uses the `get_project_detailed_data` tool to pull specific budget constraints and settings. If you need a quick profitability check, just ask. For wider portfolio reviews, Claude runs `list_projects_within_budget` to filter out everything that is bleeding cash. It isolates the projects actually hitting their margins. You can follow that up with `quick_time_tracking_audit` to get a high-level summary of recent time entries across those healthy accounts.

Manage Clients and Tasks

This MCP server turns Claude into your billing assistant. It uses `list_billing_clients` to pull the exact roster of clients configured for invoicing. You never have to guess if a new account is set up correctly in the system before logging hours. Task tracking works the same way. Claude grabs your full project list via `list_tracked_projects`, then drills down into specific deliverables using `list_project_tasks`. You get the exact breakdown of what needs doing, right in your local chat window.
