How to Use the Everhour Time Tracking MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I build a budget alert workflow with Everhour Time Tracking and Mastra AI?

Register the MCP Server in your Mastra agent tools. Use listprojectswithinbudget as a trigger step, and configure Mastra's workflow engine to send Slack alerts when projects go over limit.

Q: How do I restrict which Everhour Time Tracking tools Mastra AI can execute?

Use the requireToolApproval setting in Mastra. You can force human confirmation before the agent runs sensitive tools like listbillingclients while letting non-sensitive tools run automatically.

Automate complex billing audits and budget-based workflows by connecting Mastra AI directly to Everhour.

Automated budget checks via Mastra AI

The `list_projects_within_budget` tool allows your Mastra AI workflows to monitor project financial health automatically. By connecting this MCP Server, you can build a workflow that checks budget limits and triggers alerts when thresholds are crossed. If a project exceeds its limit, Mastra's branching logic uses `get_project_detailed_data` to inspect the exact overage. The workflow then notifies managers, turning manual budget monitoring into a hands-off background task.

Self-healing team tracking audits

The `quick_time_tracking_audit` tool identifies missing time entries across your entire workspace. When your Mastra agent detects incomplete records, it initiates automated follow-ups with team members. Using `list_organization_team_members`, the workflow matches missing hours to specific email addresses. Mastra's built-in retry logic ensures these audits run reliably even if the target API experiences temporary hiccups.

Automated billing client syncs

The `list_billing_clients` tool pulls active customer accounts for automated financial reporting. This MCP Server exposes client data directly to your Mastra agents, enabling automatic invoice generation. By pairing this with `list_team_time_records`, you can build workflows that calculate billable totals for each client. The agent gathers the hours, matches them to clients, and prepares draft invoices without human manual entry.

Setup guide

Set up Everhour Time Tracking MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Everhour Time Tracking tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "everhour-time-tracking-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "everhour-time-tracking-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Everhour Time Tracking Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Everhour Time Tracking tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Everhour Time Tracking transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
