Audit daily attendance directly inside Claude Desktop

Run `get_attendance` from your Claude Desktop chat to see who clocked in today without opening another browser tab. This local integration pulls raw time logs directly into your workspace so you can analyze shift coverage on the fly. If someone is missing, ask your desktop agent to run `get_employee` to pull their contact info and department. This lets you spot coverage gaps instantly and message the right team leads before daily standups begin.

Feed raw activity logs to Claude Desktop using `list_activity` to find out where your team spends most of their working hours. You get a clean breakdown of active applications and sites without manually exporting CSV files from your dashboard. Have the desktop agent cross-reference these active hours against `list_tasks` to verify if your developers are actually focused on high-priority sprint issues. It gives you a clear picture of project alignment in seconds.

Map project progress using Claude Desktop

Use `list_projects` in Claude Desktop to compare active timelines against actual logged hours. The desktop client parses this raw operational data to flag which initiatives are running hot and which ones need more engineering support.
