Perplexity

Map community signals inside Claude Desktop

The `list_members` tool pulls your community directory straight into your Claude Desktop chat window using this MCP Server. You ask your agent which Discord or GitHub users hit your community yesterday, and it queries the API directly to give you names, tags, and activity history. Your agent uses `get_member` to pull up a user's exact profile details when they ask a question. Honestly, it beats digging through browser tabs to find out who you are talking to.

Track user actions on the fly

The `ingest_activity` tool writes custom event records directly to your user timelines through Claude Desktop. If a user gives a shout-out on a forum, you tell your agent to log that interaction instantly, keeping your records updated. Your agent coordinates these logs by checking your API connection first with `get_token_status`. This check prevents silent failures when you write new activity logs from the desktop chat interface.

Manage segments and webhooks with your agent

The `list_segments` tool exposes your user groups, like highly engaged developers or at-risk trial users, to Claude Desktop. You ask your agent to filter these groups so you can target outreach campaigns. Managing real-time alerts is simple with `create_webhook` or `delete_webhook` to configure how data flows out of your hub using this MCP Server.
