Perplexity

Build and inspect bots inside Claude Desktop

The `create_bot` tool lets your agent build new support bots without leaving the chat interface. You feed the agent your bot parameters, and it spins up a fresh instance on the Bot9 platform instantly. After creation, the agent uses `get_bot` to check the setup and pull the configuration details. You can also run `list_bots` to audit your entire fleet of active customer support agents. This gives your local Claude Desktop client a live view of your support setup, so you never configure the same agent twice.

Feed training URLs to your MCP Server

The `add_data_source` tool feeds new documentation URLs directly to your bot's knowledge base. When your team publishes a new help article, your agent grabs the link and pushes it straight to the bot. To keep track of what your bot actually knows, the agent runs `list_data_sources` to check the current training index. This keeps your support bot's knowledge fresh without you ever opening a browser tab to click through admin settings.

Track live support chats in Claude Desktop

The `list_conversations` tool fetches a clean list of active support threads currently handled by your bots. Your agent reads this list to spot stuck customers or conversations that need human eyes. Once you pinpoint a thread, the agent calls `get_conversation_history` to pull the raw transcript and uses `send_message` to test responses or interact directly. It turns your Claude Desktop setup into a lightweight support triage station.
