Pull specific productivity metrics.

Using `get_stats`, you retrieve coding statistics for a user. This lets your agent pull hard data—like total hours spent or lines of code written—directly into the chat output. You don't have to leave Claude Desktop and open another dashboard just to check numbers. The results give you immediate context, letting you reference specific metrics in your conversations with the AI client.

Get a detailed summary of your work.

The `get_summaries` tool provides a thorough breakdown of your coding activity. Your agent uses this to pull an actionable narrative, summarizing what you worked on and when. This is perfect for those reports that need more than just raw data points. It helps turn weeks of commits into easy-to-read summaries without leaving the chat interface.

View all your tracked work areas.

Need to know what projects you're involved in? Just run `list_projects`. This tool lists every single project Wakapi tracks for you. Your agent reads this list, letting you verify which codebases are accounted for before starting a new task. This visibility is critical when switching contexts or asking the AI client to analyze data from multiple sources.
