Perplexity

Run your networking pipeline inside Claude Desktop

Stop copying email addresses from physical cards into your CRM. Claude Desktop reads your latest interactions and updates your database instantly. You can pull up your contact history using `list_leads` or deep dive into a specific contact record with `get_lead_details` without switching tabs. When you meet someone new at a conference, tell your agent to log the interaction. The `create_lead` tool drops them straight into your system, and you can organize them immediately by calling `list_tags` to apply the right labels.

Track NFC card performance with this MCP Server

If you distribute physical cards to your sales team, you need to know which ones actually drive traffic. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop check your hardware inventory via `list_physical_cards` and check active engagement stats. Get a clear picture of your networking ROI by running `get_analytics_summary` or tracking individual tap metrics with `get_click_analytics`. Your agent parses these raw numbers into clean reports so you know exactly which events paid off.

Update digital business cards using Claude Desktop

Keeping your digital presence accurate shouldn't require logging into a web dashboard every time your title changes. Let Claude Desktop handle it directly by using `update_profile` to modify your contact card details. You can also audit your team's access rights. Pull your current setup using `get_my_profile` or see who has active seats on your team plan with `list_company_members` to keep your organization sync'd.
