Perplexity

Build automated reports using this MCP Server

The `list_project_hour_budgets` tool retrieves the exact hour limits for your active construction sites. Cline uses this data to write custom budget reports, flag overruns, and generate clean markdown tables directly in your workspace. You get real-time tracking without leaving your editor. The agent reads the budget limits and cross-references them with actual hours logged to keep your projects profitable.

Log labor hours directly from Cline

The `create_time_transaction` tool registers employee hours directly into your ERP ledger. Cline can write a local script to parse your team's timesheet files and then execute this tool to sync the hours. This eliminates manual data entry errors. The agent checks employee records using `list_employees` to ensure every logged hour maps to a valid worker ID.

Track project costs and subcontractor accounts

The `create_cost_transaction` tool posts material expenses and subcontractor fees directly to your construction ledger. Cline uses this MCP toolset to resolve the correct cost codes and project IDs automatically before submitting. You can quickly verify vendor details using `list_accounts` to prevent incorrect billings. The agent handles the lookup and execution in one continuous run.
