Update your Bureau24 status from Claude Desktop

The `update_secretary_status` tool lets your Claude Desktop agent change your Bureau24 virtual secretary instructions on the fly. When you tell your desktop app you are stepping into a meeting, it instructs the receptionist how to handle incoming calls. You can check what your Bureau24 receptionist currently knows inside Claude Desktop by running `get_secretary_status` or `list_instructions`. This keeps your status synced without opening another browser tab.

Track calls and messages in your chat

The `list_calls` and `list_messages` tools let your Claude Desktop agent pull your entire Bureau24 phone activity history. Your agent uses these tools to see who rang your business line while you were away from your desk. If a specific caller left a note, you can ask Claude Desktop to run `get_call` or `get_message` to read the exact transcript. You get immediate context on Bureau24 client inquiries right in your chat window.

Maintain your directory using this MCP Server

The `create_contact` tool keeps your Bureau24 receptionist updated with client details entered directly into Claude Desktop. This MCP Server lets your desktop agent save new phone numbers straight to your account. You can also query your existing book in Claude Desktop using `list_contacts`. This ensures your Bureau24 virtual secretary always knows exactly who is calling before they transfer the line.
