# ProjectManager MCP > ProjectManager MCP lets you manage projects, tasks, resources, and timesheets entirely through your agent's natural conversation. Stop clicking through dashboards; instead, simply ask your AI client to create a new project, update task statuses, or pull resource availability for the whole team. It puts your entire project portfolio management system into your workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** task-tracking, resource-allocation, timesheets, project-health, workflow-automation, real-time-sync ## Description This connector routes all of your core ProjectManager data—projects, tasks, resources, and time logs—directly through your agent. You can manage your full project life cycle without ever logging into the web dashboard or juggling multiple tabs. Need to know who's available for a new task? Ask your agent to list team resources. Want to kick off an initiative? Tell it to create a brand-new project and assign initial tasks. The MCP handles all the back-end coordination, letting you talk about work instead of clicking through menus. When connected via Vinkius, this data becomes one single source of truth that any compatible AI client can access and act upon. ## Tools ### create_project Initializes and creates a brand new project record in your account. ### create_project_task Adds a specific, actionable task to an existing project for the team to complete. ### get_project_details Pulls deep status information and metadata for one specific project you name. ### get_task_details Retrieves the full description, owner, and timeline details for a single task ID. ### list_dashboards Shows you a list of all available project dashboards within your account. ### list_projects Retrieves the names and high-level status for every project in your portfolio. ### list_team_resources Generates a list of all people, equipment, and resources assigned to your company. ### list_tags Lists every classification tag you use across your projects for organization. ### list_tasks Finds and lists tasks, allowing you to narrow the results down by a specific project ID. ### list_timesheets Accesses a history of recorded time entries for accurate billing and capacity tracking. ### update_task Modifies an existing task, changing its status, assignee, or deadline. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active projects in ProjectManager. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your projects.

The agent runs list_team_resources and lists all unassigned personnel, allowing immediate resource allocation. ### Quickly auditing task completion rates A Project Coordinator needs to know which tasks are overdue. They prompt: 'List all tasks for the Q3 Campaign project.' The agent uses list_tasks and provides a filtered view of only incomplete items. ### Starting a new initiative from scratch The Project Manager says: 'Start a new project called Alpha Launch.' The agent runs create_project, then follows up with multiple calls to create_project_task to define the initial scope and assign owners. ### Reviewing billable hours for month-end closing The finance team member asks: 'Show me all timesheets recorded last week.' The agent uses list_timesheets, pulling a comprehensive log needed for client invoicing. ## Benefits - Instantly track team bandwidth. Instead of digging through multiple reports, simply ask the agent to list resources and see who's available for a new task. - Maintain historical records effortlessly. You can use the list_timesheets tool to pull all recorded time entries, keeping your billing records accurate without manual exports. - Build projects on demand. Use create_project and then immediately assign work using create_project_task; everything is done in one conversational flow. - Get status updates instantly. Need to know how the 'Website Redesign' project is doing? The get_project_details tool gives you a deep dive into its current health at your request. - Keep track of changes. Never forget what needs adjusting by running update_task, allowing you to change due dates or assignees immediately. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you use conversational prompts instead of manual dashboard navigation to manage all your work. 1. Subscribe to this MCP in Vinkius and enter your ProjectManager API key into the connection settings. 2. Your agent uses the natural language prompt to identify the necessary action (e.g., 'Check tasks for Website Redesign'). 3.
