Available tools 34

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

cotlet
cotlet_apps
The apps of the user's workspace and whether each works now: access granted or requested, the app account in the user's Cloud Browser (connected, signed out, signed in but not connected), and the one step the user has to take, with the console link. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_browser_click
Clicks a link, button or other element of the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, by its number in the page's element list, and returns the URL and title after the click. It acts as the user on that site. Buttons that pay or buy and buttons on account or sign-in pages are refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_close
Ends the session in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser: the browser keeps its cookies, goes to sleep and the per-minute charge stops. Returns the session's minutes and credits.
cotlet_browser_navigate
Opens a public http or https address in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser and returns the URL and title it ended on. Only PeoplePerHour pages open. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_open
Wakes the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, a real Chrome hosted on Cotlet and signed in to PeoplePerHour as the user. Use it for what the PeoplePerHour tools do not cover. Opens `url` when given and returns the page's URL and title. The user watches every step live. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_press
Presses one key on the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, on the element that has focus: Tab to the next field, Enter to send, Escape to close a dialog or pop-up, arrows to move through a suggestion list. Returns the URL and title after it. Enter on account pages is refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_read
Returns the current page of the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser: its readable text, up to 20,000 characters, and a numbered list of its links, buttons and fields. Field values, cookies and storage are never returned. On a page longer than that, both start near where it is scrolled to. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_screenshot
Returns a JPEG image of the visible part of the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, with its URL and title: boards, canvases and layouts that the page text does not show. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_scroll
Scrolls the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser with the mouse wheel, as a person does: down or up by `screens` viewport heights (default 0.8), to the top or the bottom, or until element `element` is in view. Content that loads on scroll appears, and the next read lists it. Returns the URL, title and scroll position (at_top, at_bottom). Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_select
Chooses an option of a drop-down list on the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, by the list's number in the element list and the option's label as read lists it (or its value). Returns the URL and title after it. Card fields and account pages are refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_type
Types text into a field of the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, by the field's number in the page's element list, and with `submit` presses Enter. Returns the URL and title after it. Password, card and one-time code fields and sign-in pages are refused: the user fills those in themselves. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_upload
Puts files into a file field of the current page in the user's PeoplePerHour Cloud Browser, or into the file picker that an upload button opens, by its number in the element list. A file is given as {"url": "https://..."} for a file online or {"file_id": "..."} for one uploaded to Cotlet first; up to 10 files, 20 MB each. Returns the URL and title after it. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_get_call
Status of an earlier Cotlet call, by its call_id: pending (waits for the owner's approval in the Cotlet console), approved, running, success, rejected, expired, blocked or failed. For a call that answered with status pending or running.
cotlet_report_issue
Sends a report straight to the Cotlet team: a tool that failed or returned wrong data, an error you could not get past, or a tool, field or app the task needed and Cotlet lacks. The report carries the error text and call_id when there is one, never passwords or tokens. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_request_apps
Requests access to apps for the user's workspace, as Request access in the console: a live app is granted at once, any other goes to the Cotlet team, who answer within 72 hours. Takes app slugs as listed at https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/apps. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_upload_file
Returns a one-time upload_url and a file_id for a local file (an image for a post, an attachment). The file is sent to upload_url with an HTTP PUT; an argument that takes a file accepts {"file_id": "..."}. Up to 25 MB, the URL works once. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_whoami
The Cotlet account this connection acts as: email, workspace, access status, the API key or OAuth client in use with its scope, the apps the workspace may call and its credit balance. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
projects
list_my_projects
Projects this account posted as a buyer, with status, budget and proposal count. Returns the projects the signed-in buyer posted, most recent proposal first, each with its status (open, in_progress, under_moderation, completed and so on), budget, proposal count and the start of the brief. counts is the number of projects per status. Archived projects come back only with status archived. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; it is null on the last page.
search_projects
Open projects buyers posted, newest first, with budget, category, proposals and the brief's start. Returns open projects from the same search as the Jobs page on PeoplePerHour, newest first. Filter by keyword, top category, or posting time: with since, only projects posted after it come back, so an agent polling for new work reads only what arrived since its last check. Times are UTC. budget.type is fixed_price or hourly (then the amount is per hour), in the buyer's currency. freelancer_country is set when only freelancers from that country may send a proposal. get_project returns the full brief. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page; it is null when nothing more matches. With since, one call scans at most 200 of the newest projects, so a page can hold fewer than limit and still have a next_cursor.
saved
delete_saved_search
Delete one of this account's saved project searches and its email alert. Deletes the saved search from the signed-in account; its email alert stops with it.
list_saved_searches
This account's saved project searches with their filters and email alert setting. Returns the project searches the signed-in account saved on the Jobs page: title, email alert (Never, Daily or Instantly) and filters. filters.query and filters.category can go straight into search_projects. PeoplePerHour allows 10 saved searches per account.
account
get_account
The signed-in PeoplePerHour account: name, type, buyer stats, unread messages and favourite counts. Returns the account the tools act as: member id, first name and initial, email, account type (buyer or seller), location, currency, profile URL, unread messages, buyer stats (projects posted, listed and completed, freelancers worked with, share of projects awarded, response time) and how many Offers, freelancers and projects it keeps as favourites or watches.
categories
list_categories
The 10 project categories with their subcategories and typical budgets per freelancer level. Returns PeoplePerHour's project categories and their subcategories. category is the slug search_projects and save_search take. median_budget is PeoplePerHour's median project budget in the subcategory, fixed price and hourly, by freelancer level (below level 4, level 4, level 5, Top CERT) and on average, in the currency asked for: a guide when pricing a proposal or a project.
freelancer
get_freelancer
A freelancer's public profile: rate, stats, skills, portfolio and the latest reviews on the page. Returns a freelancer's public profile: short name, job title, location, hourly rate, CERT level, rating in percent, review and project counts, skills, languages, full About text, up to 30 portfolio items, and the reviews the profile page shows (usually the latest few, with the project they came from). reviews is the total count; PeoplePerHour does not let older reviews be paged, so only recent_reviews come with text. Times are UTC. Pass a freelancer_id from search_freelancers or an Offer, or the profile URL.
freelancers
search_freelancers
Freelancers by skill or keyword, with rate, rating, reviews, completed projects and skills. Returns freelancers from the same search as Hire freelancers on PeoplePerHour: short name, profile URL, job title, location, hourly rate in the freelancer's currency, CERT level, rating in percent, review and project counts, skills and the start of their About text. hourly_rate filters in your account currency. get_freelancer returns the full profile. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
notifications
list_notifications
The latest notifications of this account (proposals, messages, project updates) and unread counts. Returns the notifications under the bell on PeoplePerHour, newest first: text, link, whether it was read and when it came. unread counts unread notifications, proposals and WorkStream messages. Reading does not mark anything as read.
offer
get_offer
One Offer with its full description, what the seller needs from you, prices, add-ons and images. Returns one Offer as its page shows it: title, price in your account currency and in each currency the seller set, delivery days, sales, rating in percent with the count per star, full description, what the buyer must send, add-ons with their price and extra days, image links and the freelancer who sells it. Pass an offer_id from search_offers or the Offer's URL.
offers
search_offers
Fixed-price Offers freelancers sell, by keyword or price, with sales, rating and seller. Returns Offers (fixed-price services, once called Hourlies) from the same search as the Offers page on PeoplePerHour: title, price in your account currency, delivery days, sales, rating in percent, category, tags and the freelancer who sells it. get_offer returns the description, add-ons and images. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
project
get_project
One project's full brief with budget, attachments, interview questions, buyer and proposal count. Returns one project as its public page shows it: the buyer's full brief, budget, category, experience level, where it is done, links to the files the buyer attached, the questions the buyer asks in a proposal, how many proposals it has and whether it is still open. client is the buyer's public profile. Times are UTC. Pass a project_id from search_projects or the project's URL.
save
save_search
Save a project search with an email alert, or rename one or change how often it emails. Without saved_search_id it saves a new project search on the signed-in account, as Save on the Jobs page does: title, filters and an email alert (Never, Daily or Instantly) that PeoplePerHour sends to this account only. With saved_search_id it changes only the title and the alert of that search; PeoplePerHour keeps its filters, so make a new search for other filters and delete the old one. PeoplePerHour allows 10 saved searches per account.
unwatch
unwatch_project
Take a project off this account's watchlist. Removes the project from the watchlist of the signed-in account. Nobody else is told.
watch
watch_project
Add a project to this account's watchlist (Favourite Jobs) to come back to it later. Adds the project to the watchlist of the signed-in account, the heart on the project page. The buyer is not notified. Watching a project already on the list changes nothing. list_watchlist reads the list and unwatch_project takes it off.
watchlist
list_watchlist
Open projects on this account's watchlist (Favourite Jobs), with budget and proposal count. Returns the open projects the signed-in account watches, in the same shape as search_projects. A watched project that has closed drops off the list. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
workstreams
list_workstreams
This account's WorkStreams (conversations with hired freelancers) with the last message. Returns the WorkStreams of the signed-in account, the conversation PeoplePerHour opens for each hire: title, link, unread message count and the last message with its time. It reads, never sends: replying is done on PeoplePerHour. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; it is null on the last page.

PeoplePerHour by Cotlet — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PeoplePerHour by Cotlet do?
It exposes 34 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: cotlet_apps, cotlet_browser_click, cotlet_browser_close, cotlet_browser_navigate, cotlet_browser_open, cotlet_browser_press and 28 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is PeoplePerHour by Cotlet mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around cotlet, saved and projects. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is PeoplePerHour by Cotlet working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 231 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did PeoplePerHour by Cotlet ever remove tools?
Yes. cotlet_balance, cotlet_browser_connect, cotlet_browser_sessions are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect PeoplePerHour by Cotlet?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to PeoplePerHour by Cotlet?
No API key is involved. PeoplePerHour by Cotlet answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is PeoplePerHour by Cotlet?
It answers our handshake in 231 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use PeoplePerHour by Cotlet?
The pypi package peopleperhour-api-mcp was installed 555 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is PeoplePerHour by Cotlet open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
