tempo-api-mcpv3.2.3

Engineers log hours against Jira issues at the end of each day using natural-language prompts. The MCP server resolves the correct issue, date, and time spent, creating Tempo worklogs without leaving the chat interface. This removes friction from a task engineers routinely forget or delay.

Delivery managers inspect Tempo plans and team memberships to see who is over- or under-allocated for the upcoming sprint. They can query plans by date range and cross-reference worklogs to validate actual vs planned effort. Adjustments get pushed back as updated plans via the same interface.

Consulting firms reconcile client-billable hours against project worklogs and Tempo accounts before invoicing. Finance staff pull worklogs by account and project for the billing period, flag gaps or overages, and trigger corrections. This reduces revenue leakage from misattributed or missing time entries.

Team leads and finance controllers review pending timesheet approvals, approve or reject submissions, and audit approval logs for compliance. They can pull every team member's approval status for a period in one query. Reopen or recall actions support correcting late or disputed entries.

Agencies track hours across many client projects and produce utilization reports for account managers. Staff query worklogs by project or issue to build client-ready summaries, and use team worklog views to balance workloads. Account-level views map time directly to client codes for billing.

The package is distributed free via npm and GitHub under an MIT-style model, driving developer adoption of the Tempo API surface. Value accrues indirectly through increased Tempo platform engagement and ecosystem lock-in.

Tempo sells a per-user monthly subscription for time tracking and resource planning, with this MCP server as an integration vector that makes Tempo stickier inside AI coding environments. Higher seat usage and plan upgrades generate recurring revenue.

Large organizations pay for enterprise licenses that include SSO, audit logs, advanced API access, and priority support. The MCP integration is positioned as a productivity multiplier justifying premium tiers and services contracts.
