Perplexity

Manage your team data inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your chat. This MCP server lets you pull `get_employee_details` and `list_employees` right into your workspace. Use `list_leave_requests` or `get_who_is_away` to check who is out of the office today. Your agent handles the lookups so you stay focused on your tasks.

Streamline hiring and recruitment cycles

Feed your agent live data from `list_job_postings` to draft better descriptions. You can also run `list_job_candidates` to see who applied for specific roles without leaving the app. Everything stays inside your chat window. It makes reviewing applicant lists much faster than digging through a web portal.

Analyze payroll and performance reports

Run `get_payroll_summary` to grab financial snapshots for any month. It saves you from manual exports when you need quick figures for your reports. Check `list_performance_appraisals` to see upcoming review cycles. Your agent keeps this data ready for your next planning session.
