The daily grind

Common problems. Direct answers.

Challenge 1

Manual Exports Delay Capacity Decisions

The problem

Getting a current view of team capacity requires exporting from Tempo, cleaning data, and rebuilding pivot tables — a process that delays resourcing decisions by days.

How MCP solves it

Improvado MCP lets AI agents query Tempo directly in plain English, delivering live capacity snapshots in seconds without any manual export.

Try asking

Who has capacity for new work next week?

Answer in seconds

All data sources, one query

Challenge 2

Budget Overruns Discovered Too Late

The problem

Project managers only discover time budget overruns at sprint retrospectives, after the damage is done and replanning is costly.

How MCP solves it

Set proactive AI monitoring on budget thresholds. Improvado MCP surfaces overrun signals early so managers can rebalance before the sprint ends.

Try asking

Which epics are tracking 20%+ over time budget?

Full detail preserved

No data loss on export

Challenge 3

Incomplete Time Logs Corrupt Reporting

The problem

Missing or inaccurate Tempo logs undermine billing accuracy and resource reports, requiring manual audits to find gaps.

How MCP solves it

Ask your AI agent to identify members with incomplete logs for any period. Improvado MCP queries Tempo and returns a clean gap report instantly.

Try asking

Who hasn't logged time in the last 3 days?

FAQ

Common questions

What Tempo data does Improvado MCP expose?

Improvado MCP surfaces worklogs, plans, accounts, teams, and cost data from Tempo — covering everything you'd normally access via Tempo's API or reports.

Does this work with Tempo for Jira Cloud and Server?

Improvado MCP supports Tempo for Jira Cloud. Server and Data Center support depends on API availability in your Tempo version.

Can I query Tempo data alongside Jira issue data?

Yes. Since Improvado connects to multiple sources, you can ask questions that combine Tempo time logs with Jira issue metadata in a single query.

How are billable and non-billable hours distinguished?

Improvado MCP respects the account and billing classifications you've set in Tempo, making it easy to filter queries by billable status.

Can finance teams use this without Jira access?

Yes. Improvado MCP can be configured so finance stakeholders query Tempo cost and hours data through the AI agent without needing direct Jira or Tempo access.

How often does Tempo data refresh in Improvado?

Data freshness is configurable in Improvado. Most teams use near-real-time syncs for active sprint data and daily syncs for historical reporting.
