Perplexity

Run Assembled queue checks in Claude Desktop.

The `list_queues` tool lets Claude Desktop pull your active support queues directly into your chat window. You don't have to keep a browser tab open to check if tickets are piling up. When queues spike, your agent can instantly run `list_agent_states` to see who is online. This MCP tool gives you immediate context on why response times might be slipping without making you dig through dashboards.

Map out agent schedules using your AI client.

The `list_schedules` tool pulls your team's shifts directly into Claude Desktop for rapid planning. This MCP capability lets you find coverage gaps for the upcoming week based on this raw schedule data. If you need to message a specific team leader about a scheduling conflict, `list_teams` and `list_users` identify the right points of contact. This setup keeps your scheduling decisions grounded in actual shift data.

Match support forecasts with live staffing levels.

The `list_forecasts` tool feeds predicted ticket volumes directly into Claude Desktop. Your agent compares these incoming workload projections against actual scheduled hours to highlight understaffed days. Running `get_account_check` first ensures your connection to the scheduling platform is active before running heavy forecast queries. You get a clear picture of your staffing gaps before they turn into customer complaints.
