Perplexity

Manage Chat Rooms Inside Claude Desktop

Your desktop agent can spawn and track conversations instantly using this MCP Server. Give it a prompt, and it runs `create_room` or pulls chat history via `list_rooms` directly inside your chat panel. You don't have to switch to a browser tab to check on active customer threads. Let Claude Desktop query `get_room` or modify live sessions using `update_room` while you stay focused on your main workspace.

Instant Lead Capture and Tracking

Turn raw chat text into structured CRM data without leaving your conversation. When a user drops their details, your desktop agent uses `create_lead` to log them immediately. Keep your sales pipeline clean by running `update_lead` or clearing out dead contacts with `delete_lead`. You can also pull up specific records using `get_lead` to get instant context during support calls.

Real-Time Webhook Control

This MCP Server lets you manage your support notifications directly from Claude Desktop. Register new endpoints using `create_webhook` to trigger immediate alerts when customers write in. When endpoints change, your agent updates them with `update_webhook` or lists current active hooks via `list_webhooks`. It keeps your external notifications in sync without manual API scripting.
