Track labor costs autonomously with Cascade

The `create_time_transaction` tool logs employee hours directly to your Dutch construction ledger. Cascade reads your active developer context, matches the hours to the right project, and submits the entry without waiting for manual confirmation. You don't have to copy-paste timesheet data between windows anymore. This MCP Server lets the agent identify the correct employee using `list_employees` and write the hours directly to the specific project.

Audit project health using this MCP Server

The `list_project_hour_budgets` tool pulls real-time budget limits directly into your conversational window. Cascade uses this data to compare actual spent hours against set limits, warning you before you overspend. By calling `list_project_wbs`, the agent maps out the exact Work Breakdown Structure of your construction site. You see where the money goes without digging through complex ERP menus.

Log expenses directly from your workspace

The `create_cost_transaction` tool records materials and subcontractor invoices instantly. This MCP connection handles the mapping, linking the exact amounts to your active project code. You can verify active accounts with `list_accounts` to make sure every euro goes to the right subcontractor ledger. The agent chains these checks in the background so you keep your cash flow clean.
