Perplexity

Provision construction teams inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between browser tabs when onboarding new contractors. Give your MCP agent the user's email, and it uses `create_user` to spin up their profile, then pulls the trigger on `invite_user_to_project` to get them into the right workspace. If someone leaves the job site, you don't need to hunt down their profile in the standard web portal. Just tell your local app to run `update_user_status` to disable their access instantly, keeping your site data locked down.

Replicate project structures using this MCP Server

Setting up a new building phase from scratch is tedious work. Your local Claude Desktop client uses `copy_project` to duplicate existing templates, ensuring your folder structures and workflows match your previous builds perfectly. Before you kick off the build, let your agent run `get_register_schema` to pull the exact metadata rules for your documents. You can also fetch the official team branding using `get_project_logo` without leaving your chat window.

Search directories via MCP and build mailing groups

Stop guessing which sub-contractor belongs to which organization. Claude Desktop runs `search_global_directory` to find people across the entire network, or searches locally within a specific workspace via `search_project_directory`. Once you find the right engineers, group them up immediately. Your agent calls `create_mailing_group` to bundle them together, or cleans up old lists with `delete_mailing_group` to keep project communications clear.
