# Everhour Time Tracking MCP > Everhour Time Tracking lets your AI agent manage projects, track team time, and monitor budgets using natural conversation. Get instant summaries of project finances, see who's logged hours, and audit utilization rates without opening the web app. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** time-tracking, budget-monitoring, team-productivity, billing-status, task-management ## Description This MCP connects Everhour, a powerful time tracking system, directly to your AI client. You can run audits on entire teams or specific projects by just asking questions. Instead of navigating multiple dashboards, you prompt your agent for details like total hours logged this week or which projects are running low on budget. For example, you can get a list of every active project and its current status, or monitor real-time timers across your organization. When you connect Everhour through Vinkius, your AI client handles all the heavy lifting, turning complex time sheets into simple answers in your chat window. ## Tools ### get_everhour_user_metadata Pulls your personal profile and metadata information from Everhour. ### get_project_detailed_data Retrieves the complete budget and setup details for one specific project. ### quick_time_tracking_audit Provides a quick summary of recent time entries and active projects right away. ### get_currently_running_timer Shows the task name and start time for any timer that is currently running. ### list_billing_clients Lists all clients set up in Everhour for billing and invoicing purposes. ### list_tracked_projects Generates a list of every project currently tracked within your account. ### list_project_tasks Retrieves all tasks associated with a specific, defined project. ### list_organization_team_members Lists every team member and their assigned role in the organization. ### list_team_time_records Gathers time records for a group of people within a specified date range. ### list_projects_within_budget Identifies and lists all projects that are currently operating under their assigned budget or time limit. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all projects currently over budget. ``` **Response:** ``` I've identified 2 projects exceeding their budget: 'Website Redesign' (115% utilization) and 'Q1 Marketing Campaign' (102% utilization).

Instead of running three reports and exporting them, they prompt their agent: 'What are the total billable hours for Client X this month?'. The MCP runs through list_billing_clients and aggregates the time data instantly. ### Checking team bandwidth before starting work A project manager is assigned a new, large task. They ask their agent to check 'What are our available hours for Q3?'. The MCP uses list_organization_team_members and list_team_time_records to calculate the true capacity remaining. ### Reviewing project scope creep The client claims a project is going over budget. The PM asks their agent: 'Show me all projects exceeding 90% of their budget.' The MCP uses list_projects_within_budget and get_project_detailed_data to pinpoint the exact problem areas. ### Auditing daily activity An operations lead needs a quick snapshot of team output. They prompt: 'Give me today's productivity summary.' The MCP uses quick_time_tracking_audit, giving an immediate picture of task completion and active work. ## Benefits - Stop digging through dashboards.
