Perplexity

Pipe Telephony Data to Terminal Tools

The agent pulls deep internal arrays using `list_raw_call_logs` and outputs clean Dialpad JSON directly to your Claude Code terminal. This MCP server makes it simple to debug call routing issues during active incidents without leaving your shell. You pipe this telephony output directly into grep or jq. Claude Code handles the heavy lifting of parsing the raw arrays so you can diagnose issues in seconds.

Automate SMS Alerts via CLI

Claude Code connects to this MCP server to send outbound notifications using `dispatch_office_sms` directly from your command line. It pulls user details with `get_person_details` to verify the recipient's phone number before sending. This prevents fat-finger mistakes when running critical operations. You trigger transactional updates or alerts to your team without opening any GUI.

Sync Directories with Claude Code

Your agent runs `upsert_business_contact` to batch-upload new Dialpad contacts directly from a local CSV file. When contacts go cold, Claude Code purges them with `wipe_directory_entry` to keep your system tidy. It handles the entire cleanup process in a single command-line session. Your terminal becomes the control center for your entire office directory.
