Perplexity

Start and track jobs conversationally

This toolset connects Claude directly to your Albi Restoration account. You can ask it to `create_new_restoration_project` and it will prompt you for the name and primary contact, getting the job started without opening another app. Once a project is running, you don't have to dig through menus to find out what's going on. Just ask Claude for a status update. It uses `get_project_details` and `list_project_activities` to give you a quick summary of progress, tasks, and key contacts right in the chat window.

Pull project financials on demand

Get a handle on project finances without running a report. Ask your agent to `get_project_financial_kpis` for any job, and you'll get the key numbers back instantly. It's a faster way to check on budget, actuals, and profitability. This isn't just for single projects. You can also ask Claude to `list_restoration_projects` to get a high-level view, then drill down into the ones that need attention. It's the quickest path to the data you need to make decisions.

A direct line to your Albi Restoration MCP Server

This isn't a separate service; it's a direct connection. You can use simple tools like `check_api_health` to confirm the Albi API is responsive. It gives you a straightforward way to troubleshoot if something feels off. For more technical checks, you can `list_configured_webhooks` to see what integrations are active. This MCP Server gives you a set of simple, focused tools to interact with your Albi data through conversation.
