Perplexity

Generate code with Cursor and live project contexts

The `list_project_wbs` tool imports your exact work breakdown structure directly into your active workspace. Stop writing code against mock construction databases or outdated spreadsheets. Cursor uses this MCP Server to fetch real project nodes and injects them into your code. When building custom portals for site managers, your AI agent uses `list_projects` to write code that perfectly mirrors your active Dutch construction jobs.

Automated timesheet sync right in Cursor

The `list_time_transactions` tool lets you inspect raw ledger responses while you write your sync scripts. Debugging time-tracking integrations is a pain when you can't see the live API payload. With this MCP Server setup, you can view real timesheet data as you code. If you need to test write operations, the agent runs `create_time_transaction` using actual employee records fetched with `list_employees` to confirm your validation logic works.

Live cost validation in your development loop

The `create_cost_transaction` tool tests your margin-protection rules directly in your active development loop. Ensure your custom billing scripts don't trigger Dutch tax audits. This MCP Server provides live cost validation against real financial records before you deploy to production. The agent calls `list_project_hour_budgets` to verify that your testing scripts do not accidentally exceed the real-world limits set by your project managers.
