Perplexity

Control CometChat users inside Claude Desktop

The CometChat MCP Server exposes user directory tools directly to your local workspace. Your agent calls `create_user` or `get_user` to sync chat profiles without you switching to an external browser tab. If a team member leaves, tell your Claude Desktop client to run `deactivate_user` or `delete_user` right inside your chat window. You keep your user list clean without leaving your desktop environment.

Audit and moderate chat history via MCP Server

This MCP Server gives your local Claude Desktop app direct access to your communication history. Your agent uses `list_messages` to pull recent logs and analyze user interactions. You get instant summaries of active threads. Claude Desktop processes the text locally, letting you flag issues or extract action items from high-volume channels.

Configure chat groups straight from your workspace

Group operations run locally inside your Claude Desktop environment. Your agent invokes `create_group` to set up new channels for your team instantly. When you need to audit access, the agent calls `get_group_details` and `list_groups` to verify membership. You manage your chat architecture while writing documentation in the same app.
