Perplexity

Audit content health without leaving Claude Desktop

This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop run a quick diagnostic on your help center using `quick_content_health_audit` because documentation decays fast. Your agent scans for empty categories using `list_empty_knowledge_categories` so you can clean up the mess before users spot it. Forget clicking through a slow browser UI. Just ask your agent to find where the gaps are. It pulls the raw stats, shows what needs work, and lets you plan updates right inside the chat window.

Edit and track draft articles in Claude Desktop

This MCP Server allows your desktop agent to call `list_draft_knowledge_articles` to pull up every pending draft in your help center. Once you have the list, use `get_article_details` to read the full body text and edit it in real-time. Because Claude Desktop runs locally, you can draft updates in local files and have your agent sync them back to Elevio. No more copy-pasting between text editors and web forms.

Search and update your knowledge base instantly

This MCP Server lets your agent run `search_knowledge_articles` to pinpoint specific help files using keywords or titles. You can also monitor recent changes across the team with `list_latest_article_updates` to make sure nobody overrides your work. It keeps your workflow tight. You ask for an article, get the raw source, make your edits, and keep your documentation accurate without context switching.
