Check Your Full Productivity Stats with the MCP Server

Need to know how much time you spent on a specific project? The `get_stats` tool fetches summarized coding statistics for any date range. It gives you hard numbers, not vague estimates. You can also list out every single commit in a project and see exactly how many minutes you logged against each one using `list_commits`. This helps prove where your time actually went.

Track Non-IDE Coding Time

Did you do some work outside your main editor, maybe in a virtual machine or an external service? Use `create_external_duration` to log that activity manually. It feeds those hours into your total profile count. It also lets you pull data from things like Google Calendar via the `list_external_durations` tool, ensuring every minute counts toward your goals.

Manage Goals and Rules

The server helps keep your coding focus sharp. Check your current progress against defined targets by calling `get_goal`. You'll see if you're hitting the milestones you set for yourself. If your tracking needs get complicated, use `list_custom_rules` to review existing rules or update them with `update_custom_rules`, letting you filter out noise.
