Perplexity

Clean URI parsing inside Claude Desktop

`parse_url` breaks down any complex tracking link into its core components directly inside your chat window. It strips the protocol, host, and path into structured JSON so Claude Desktop doesn't have to guess where parameters start or end. You get exact components without the model hallucinating characters or failing on unencoded spaces. This deterministic approach ensures your local agent acts on verified domain structures instead of raw, messy strings.

Instant query parameter extraction

`extract_query` targets the exact parameter key you need from a long tracking URL. Instead of writing custom regex or asking the model to parse strings manually, Claude Desktop calls this tool to isolate specific campaign IDs or tokens. The tool processes the query string directly, preventing common character escaping errors. It returns the precise value to your desktop app, keeping your MCP context window clear of giant, unparsed tracker logs.

Safe parameter injection for marketing links

`inject_query` appends tracking parameters to URLs without breaking the query syntax. Claude Desktop sends the base URL and a JSON payload of parameters to generate a clean, correctly formatted string. This tool handles the messy work of tracking character boundaries and managing delimiters. Your local subprocess guarantees that every generated link is immediately clickable and valid.
