How to Use the timeghost MCP in Cline

Q: Can I use this to see my whole team's tasks?

Yes. The listtimeghostmembers tool gets you the list of users in your workspace. You can then use their IDs as you call other tools to query for specific tasks and entries.

Let Cline build reports and manage timesheets right in VS Code. Give it a goal, and it will fetch the data and write the code.

Build Live Data Components

Tell Cline to build a React component that displays your team's hours. It starts by using `list_timeghost_members` to get the team roster, then loops through to pull data for each person with `list_timeghost_entries`. Cline doesn't just show you the data; it actually writes the code. It scaffolds the component file, adds the API calls, and renders the data, then presents you with the file diff for approval. You go from a prompt to a working component in seconds.

Automate Project Budget Checks

Ask Cline a direct question: 'How close is the Mobile-App-V2 project to its budget?' It uses `get_timeghost_project` to find the project's budgeted hours and `list_timeghost_tasks` to identify all associated work. Then, it crunches the numbers by pulling all related time logs and generates a clean markdown report comparing logged hours to the budget. The whole analysis appears in a new editor tab without you having to run a single query manually.

Manage Your Workspace with Cline

Getting context for your work is faster inside your editor. Have Cline run `list_timeghost_workspaces` to show you which environments are available, then use `list_timeghost_clients` to get the correct client ID for your next task. This MCP Server gives Cline the tools to be a true assistant. You can have it `check_timeghost_status` to verify the connection or pull a specific record with `get_timeghost_entry` to debug an issue, all without breaking your flow.
