Perplexity

Control CodeRabbit Seats from Claude Desktop

The `assign_seats` tool lets you provision up to 500 user IDs in a single request right inside your chat. You don't have to open the CodeRabbit browser dashboard when a new engineer joins the team. Just tell Claude Desktop to add their ID. If someone leaves or changes teams, use `unassign_seats` to free up that license immediately. This MCP server keeps your seat count accurate without manual console work.

Audit Org Actions and User Roles

The `get_audit_logs` tool pulls compliance records directly into your workspace using this MCP server. When you need to verify who made configuration changes, ask your local agent to run the check. You can also use `list_users` to filter by seat status or role. This lets you spot inactive accounts or unauthorized admins instantly during routine reviews.

Analyze Engineering Velocity Metrics

The `get_metrics` tool retrieves PR review metrics for any date range you specify. Claude Desktop parses this data to show how fast your team merges code. Run this check before your weekly standup to see actual pull request turnarounds. It replaces manual spreadsheet exports with a single text prompt.
