Perplexity

Craftboxx MCP Server Order Management

`create_order` and `get_order_details` are the core tools here. You tell Claude Desktop to spin up a new job, and it hits the Craftboxx API immediately. Your agent pulls full job specs without making you open another browser tab. Finding old work happens through `list_orders`. You ask for last week's plumbing jobs, and Claude lists them right in the chat interface. You get raw operational data piped directly into your conversation.

Track Teams and Schedules

`list_employees` and `list_appointments` give your AI client direct access to your field crew's calendar. You ask who is available for a dispatch, and the agent checks the actual schedule. No guessing who is on site today. Daily task tracking works through `list_tasks`. Your client reads open items and cross-references them with scheduled field work. You get a clear picture of what your team needs to finish before clocking out.

Inventory and Fleet Visibility

`list_materials` exposes your warehouse stock to Claude. You ask if you have enough copper pipe for a new order, and the AI checks the real numbers. It prevents you from committing to work without the right supplies. Managing trucks happens with `list_vehicles_resources`. Your agent confirms machine availability before assigning them to a crew. You stop double-booking expensive equipment because the data is always current.
