Perplexity

Audit real-time work hours and activities

`list_time_entries` pulls current work logs directly into your chat, showing you exactly who is clocked in and what they are working on. You don't have to open a browser tab or run manual database queries to check team status. Your AI client reads the raw durations and entry times, then summarizes the active hours for you. To drill down into specific details, the MCP Server runs `get_time_entry` to pull up notes, location data, and device info. This lets you spot anomalies or missing logs in seconds. You get the raw data directly in Claude Desktop so you can fix errors before payroll runs.

Manage workforce directory and team structures

`list_people` retrieves the complete roster of your employees, including their unique database IDs and emails. This is the starting point for any personnel analysis. Your agent uses these IDs to map out individual profiles without mixing up staff who share similar names. Group-level structure comes from `list_groups` to organize your workforce by department or shift. If you need to verify account-wide configurations, `get_organization` checks your system setup instantly. It ensures your client operates with the correct organizational context.

Map projects and locations via this MCP Server

`list_projects` maps out your active client jobs and internal tasks for clean cost-allocation. You get a clear picture of where your hours actually go. This stops guesswork about project budgets and keeps your team aligned on billable tasks. Physical tracking relies on `list_locations` to audit site-based workforce distribution. If your field workers clock in from multiple job sites, this tool verifies their physical coordinates. Combining this with `list_activities` and `list_clients` gives you a complete audit trail for client billing.
