Perplexity

Format Slack-ready text inside Claude Desktop

The `resolve_emoji` tool converts plain text containing shortcodes like :rocket: into actual Unicode characters directly inside your desktop chat interface. This means when you draft messages for Slack, Discord, or GitHub, your Claude Desktop client handles the formatting automatically before you copy-paste. You do not need to look up Unicode values or search external sites for the right icon. The tool parses the entire string in a single pass, swapping out every code it finds so your final output looks exactly how you intended.

Parse incoming raw chat data with this MCP Server

This MCP Server lets your Claude Desktop client read raw logs or API payloads containing Unicode characters and translate them back into readable shortcodes. By invoking `resolve_emoji` with the reverse direction, the server strips out the raw icons and gives you standard text codes that are safe for database storage. The process runs locally via stdio or through a remote web connector, depending on how you configure your desktop environment. It handles complex strings with multiple icons without dropping the surrounding text or messing up your line breaks.

Keep your terminal outputs clean during local runs

The `resolve_emoji` tool ensures that your Claude Desktop interface renders system status messages with correct visual indicators. It converts raw terminal logs into formatted text, preventing broken character blocks from cluttering your workspace. The local setup connects directly through your configuration file, making the conversion instant. You avoid the typical rendering bugs that happen when desktop clients try to display unmapped terminal icons.
