Perplexity

Full submission control in Claude Desktop

Stop digging through your dashboard to find a single lead. You can use `get_latest_submission` or `list_submissions` to pull data straight into your chat session. This MCP Server lets you sort through your form entries immediately. If you need to fix a entry, `update_submission` handles the metadata changes for you.

Filter form spam using Claude Desktop

Cleaning up your lead lists is tedious work. You can trigger `mark_as_spam` or `mark_as_not_spam` while you discuss the entries with your agent. It removes the need to log into a separate portal. Simply tell your agent which submission looks suspicious and let the tool handle the flag.

Trigger webhooks from Claude Desktop

Testing your automation flow shouldn't be a chore. Run `refire_webhooks` to re-send data for any specific submission you are currently reviewing. Everything stays inside your chat workspace. You verify the data, fire the request, and see the result instantly.
