Perplexity

Manage your inbox from Claude Desktop

Stop switching tabs to check if your receipts uploaded. This MCP Server lets you run `list_inbox_items` and `list_items_pending_review` directly in your chat window. You see exactly what needs attention. If something is missing, use `search_inbox_by_keyword` to find it by supplier name instantly.

Verify ledger details with Dext tools

Don't guess your account status. Use `get_account_metadata` to check your usage limits and ensure your account is ready for the next batch of documents. Keep your data accurate by checking `list_accounting_categories` and `list_extracted_suppliers`. You get the real numbers from your account, not estimates.

Track client activity and bank status

Get a clear view of your partner account structure. Use `list_accounting_clients` to see which clients are active and `list_account_users` to identify who has access. Check your bank feed status with `list_connected_bank_accounts`. It confirms which accounts are linked for extraction before you start your reconciliation work.
