Features

• 22 tools covering time entries, projects, clients, tags, tasks, and user info
• Start/stop timers with automatic active-timer detection
• Aggregated reports grouped by day, week, project, client, and more
• Auto member_id resolution — no manual configuration needed
• Actionable error messages — every error tells you what to do next
