That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
horas-mcp
Local MCP server for tracking time per Jira card/subtask — timer, pauses, corrections, reports, and pending worklog control. 100% local (JSON file), no dependency on the Jira API. Runs on Node 18+ and can be distributed as a single file.
Usage flow (talking with the agent)
You say | What happens |
"start SUB-456" | starts the timer (stops the previous one automatically) |
"pause" / "I'm back" | pauses/resumes (lunch, meeting) |
"I'm done" | closes the session and shows actual + rounded time |
"I started SUB-456 at 9am" | backdated start |
"I worked 1h30 yesterday on SUB-457" | manual entry |
"report for today / the week" | table per card with pending worklog entries |
"I logged SUB-456" | marks it as logged (removes it from pending) |
You enter the official worklog manually in Jira — the report already shows the rounded value in worklog format (2h 30m) and the session note to use as a comment.
Build
npm install
npm run build # dist/index.js (ESM, para desenvolvimento)
npm run bundle # dist/horas.cjs — ARQUIVO ÚNICO, autocontido, Node 18+Install on the company machine (GitHub Copilot / VS Code)
Copy only dist/horas.cjs to the machine (e.g. C:\Users\voce\horas\horas.cjs) and register it in VS Code — Ctrl+Shift+P → "MCP: Open User Configuration" (or the workspace's .vscode/mcp.json):
{
"servers": {
"horas": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/Users/voce/horas/horas.cjs"],
"env": { "HORAS_BLOCO_MIN": "15", "HORAS_ARREDONDAR": "cima" }
}
}
}No npm install, no build — just Node 18+ and the file. The tools appear in Copilot Chat in agent mode.
SQLite alternative: use node-22/dist/horas-sqlite.cjs (also a single file, requires Node 22.13+; data in ~/.horas/horas.db). Choose one of the two — the data is not shared between them.
