Perplexity

Pull board records into Claude Desktop

You get immediate access to your organization's archives using `list_archives` and `list_documents`. Stop hunting through web portals when you need to reference a past meeting file. Everything stays within your local environment. You run `get_meeting` to see specific agendas or `list_workrooms` to scan active project areas without switching windows.

Manage members and meeting schedules

Keep track of who is attending what. Use `list_meetings` to populate your calendar or `list_members` to verify contact details for specific board roles. Your AI client executes `get_member` to pull precise profile data. It keeps your workspace clean by filtering out noise from the BoardEffect MCP Server.

Track board engagement via polls and surveys

Get a pulse on board sentiment by running `list_polls` or `list_surveys` through the chat interface. You see the results without leaving your current conversation. This MCP Server connects your data directly to the Claude Desktop environment. It makes checking status updates a one-step process.
