eHour now speaks MCP

The eHour MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client log time, run timers, and manage projects in eHour without you leaving the chat. That is the whole pitch.

For your own timesheet

The day-to-day of a timesheet is where MCP earns its keep: adding rows, starting timers, fixing yesterday. You can log hours against a project with a comment and a billable rate, split an entry in two, or delete one that shouldn’t have been there. Start a timer against a project, stop it later, and it shows up on the right day with the right project and comment, no cleanup pass.

Corrections work the same way. “I put 4 hours on the wrong project yesterday, move them to Siemens Phase 2” is a sentence your assistant can act on. So is “how many hours did I log last week, broken down by client?”, and the answer comes back in the same chat without opening eHour at all.

If your assistant already has the context from the ticket you closed or the document you worked on, it can populate the timesheet directly, which takes out the retyping step most people put off.

For managers and admins

Admins can handle a lot of the common project and user management work from chat too: create projects, assign people, manage users, set approval and lock periods, and more.

Chat suits bulk admin particularly well:

• “Onboard these five new joiners with default access to the Unilever account” runs as one instruction.
• “Copy last year’s Philips project structure to this year’s” runs in one go.
• “Archive every project from 2023 that has zero hours logged against it in the last six months” is the kind of cleanup that usually gets deferred to next quarter and then never actually happens.

Setup

Install the server in your client, authenticate with your eHour account, and run a quick “list my projects” to confirm it’s working. Installation instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex are in the Knowledge Base.
