How to Use the Everhour Time Tracking MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I see a list of my tracked projects in the editor?

Just ask the agent to show them. It will execute listtrackedprojects and output the names and IDs directly into the chat panel.

An MCP Server for Billing Context

This MCP server connects your coding environment directly to your Everhour workspace. When you write internal dashboards or billing scripts in Cursor, the AI uses `list_billing_clients` to fetch your actual client roster. It writes code using real IDs, not fake placeholder data. The agent can also pull your exact account metadata. Cursor runs `get_everhour_user_metadata` to grab your profile info, letting the agent inject your specific user ID into the API calls it generates. It saves you from hunting down UUIDs in external documentation.

Build With Real Timesheet Data

Stop mocking up JSON responses for timesheets. Cursor Agent calls `list_team_time_records` to pull the actual hours your team logged this week. When you ask it to write a data visualization component, it builds it around the exact shape of your live Everhour data. The agent also handles live timer states. It checks `get_currently_running_timer` to see what task is active right now. If you are building a custom menubar app or CLI tool for time tracking, Cursor writes the logic based on the real active task object.

Audit Budgets While You Code

You can check project health without leaving your IDE. Cursor fires `list_projects_within_budget` to grab the list of accounts that still have allocated hours. The AI can then use that list to populate dropdowns or filter logic in the codebase you are working on. For deeper dives, the agent runs `get_project_detailed_data` to pull specific budget caps and settings. It follows up with `list_project_tasks` to map out exactly what tasks are eating the budget. You get full context right in your editor pane.

Setup guide

Set up Everhour Time Tracking MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Everhour Time Tracking MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Everhour Time Tracking transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Everhour Time Tracking tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everhour-time-tracking-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Everhour Time Tracking MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the server details there, switch your chat to Agent mode, and Cursor will instantly recognize the Everhour MCP tools.

Yes. That is the main benefit here. Instead of guessing the API structure, the agent runs `quick_time_tracking_audit` and writes your code based on the actual JSON response it gets back.

If you commit the .cursor/mcp.json file to your repository, anyone who clones the repo gets access to the same Everhour setup. They just need their own API token.

Just ask the agent to show them. It will execute `list_tracked_projects` and output the names and IDs directly into the chat panel.

No. Your budget caps and team timesheets pass through a zero-trust execution environment. We authenticate the endpoint token, route the request, and drop the data immediately. Vinkius never writes your financial data to disk.
