Perplexity

Fire off office SMS directly from Claude Desktop

Your agent runs `dispatch_office_sms` inside your Claude Desktop chat window to text customers using your official business line. This removes the need to copy-paste numbers between your browser and your local terminal. When you connect this Dialpad MCP Server to Claude Desktop, the local stdio transport lets your agent draft, format, and send these outbound texts instantly. It pulls contact data directly from your conversation history to populate the payload.

Sync business contacts inside Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop reads your local files and runs `upsert_business_contact` to update your Dialpad directories in real time. You can drag a CSV of fresh leads into the chat window and watch your agent populate the system. If you need to clean up stale entries, the Claude Desktop agent invokes `wipe_directory_entry` to clear out old records. It uses the `list_team_contacts` tool to check the changes worked before finishing the task.

Track call performance directly in your chat window

Pull live telephony data using `list_raw_call_logs` to see who is calling your office without switching out of Claude Desktop. This Dialpad MCP Server exposes raw call paths directly to your desktop workspace. Your Claude Desktop agent inspects rejected paths with `list_call_statistics` to flag dropped customer calls. It checks if the correct IVR routing is active by pulling current arrays with `list_ivr_departments`.
