What is Blue?

Blue's feed is capturing a Cloudflare timeout page instead of a changelog

There is no product content here. Both captured rows are fragments of a Cloudflare error interstitial — a 'What happened?' block reporting that the connection between Cloudflare's network and the origin web server timed out, and a 'What can I do?' block advising a retry. Neither has a date or a source URL. The crawl reached the CDN and never reached Blue.

What is My Hours?

My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow

My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.

Blue vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side

B0.0

Blue's feed is capturing a Cloudflare timeout page instead of a changelog

◆ Current state

There is no product content here. Both captured rows are fragments of a Cloudflare error interstitial — a 'What happened?' block reporting that the connection between Cloudflare's network and the origin web server timed out, and a 'What can I do?' block advising a retry. Neither has a date or a source URL. The crawl reached the CDN and never reached Blue.

◆ Where it's heading

Nothing about the product can be read from an error page. The only conclusion supported is operational: whatever URL is configured for this product was returning a 522-class timeout at capture time, so either the origin was down or the configured endpoint is wrong.

◆ Prediction

Unclear, and not answerable until the source is fixed. The next crawl will either return real entries if the origin recovers, or the same interstitial if the endpoint itself is misconfigured.

M6.3

My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow

◆ Current state

My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.

◆ Where it's heading

The Claude MCP connector signals a clear strategic bet: My Hours wants to be the time tracking tool you interact with through AI conversation rather than through a timer UI. The infrastructure choice (remote server on Cloudflare, not a local install) removes adoption friction, making it viable for teams already using Claude. Parallel development on attendance reports and break tracking points toward a compliance and HR use case — overtime tracking, payroll-ready break records — that broadens My Hours beyond professional services billing.

◆ Prediction

The MCP integration will expand to cover write operations beyond time logging — budget tracking, invoice creation, and report export are the most obvious additions. The attendance report launched in August suggests a near-term push toward HR and payroll integrations, potentially positioning My Hours against more compliance-focused tools like Harvest or Timely for regulated industries.
