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.
What is ZenHub?
GitHub-native PM remodels around sub-issues and opens up to AI clients via MCP.
ZenHub is in the middle of a structural realignment with GitHub. The April 2025 Epics-and-Projects-to-Sub-issues migration restructured the core data model on top of GitHub's sub-issue primitive, replacing Roadmap with Timeline and unlocking deeper hierarchy. The Fall 2025 release added a Zenhub MCP Server connecting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf to ZenHub, plus universal API access. Recent shipping has focused on Goals & Planning panel polish (drag-and-drop, deep hierarchy, performance) and shared Saved Views with workspace defaults.

My Hours

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.
ZenHub
0.0PM
GitHub-native PM remodels around sub-issues and opens up to AI clients via MCP.
◆ Current state
ZenHub is in the middle of a structural realignment with GitHub. The April 2025 Epics-and-Projects-to-Sub-issues migration restructured the core data model on top of GitHub's sub-issue primitive, replacing Roadmap with Timeline and unlocking deeper hierarchy. The Fall 2025 release added a Zenhub MCP Server connecting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf to ZenHub, plus universal API access. Recent shipping has focused on Goals & Planning panel polish (drag-and-drop, deep hierarchy, performance) and shared Saved Views with workspace defaults.
◆ Where it's heading
Two parallel arcs are visible. First, ZenHub is doubling down on its GitHub-native moat — moving the data model on top of GitHub primitives (sub-issues, projects, issue types) means its differentiation gets stronger as GitHub itself improves rather than weaker. Second, it's deliberately positioning itself in the AI-coding-tool ecosystem via MCP, betting that PM context belongs in the same surface developers already use. The May 2025 GitHub permissions update (the first scope change in 11 years) signals that even mundane plumbing is being modernized.
◆ Prediction
Expect tighter integration between MCP and the Goals & Planning hierarchy (agents that can plan a sprint, not just answer questions), additional AI-client coverage as new IDE-side MCP hosts emerge, and continued GitHub feature parity as GitHub adds more native PM primitives.
