Perplexity

Instantly spin up paylinks via this MCP Server

The `create_paylink` tool lets you generate secure payment links directly inside your Claude Desktop chat window. Once generated, you can immediately check the status using `get_paylink` or see what's pending with `list_paylinks`. Your AI client handles the API calls while you stay focused on closing the deal.

Manage customer profiles without changing tabs

The `create_customer` tool registers new buyers directly from your Claude Desktop chat interface using this MCP setup. If you need to clean up your contacts or look for duplicates, ask the agent to run `list_customers` or inspect profiles with `get_customer`. It pulls the real-time data straight into your chat interface so you can make decisions on the spot.

Handle refunds and payments in your sidebar

The `refund_payment` tool returns funds to your customers without requiring you to open a separate web portal. You can also track incoming revenue by letting the agent call `list_payments` or set up new charges using `create_payment_intent`. It keeps your billing operations running smoothly without disrupting your daily writing or coding flow.
