Perplexity

Run office logistics from Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser tabs to see who is coming to the office. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop read your Envoy schedule, check active reservations, and pull up visitor logs instantly. You can ask your agent to run `list_visitors` or `list_deliveries` to see what is happening at the front desk. It gets the live data straight from your local machine or browser instance.

Book your workspace instantly

Finding a place to sit on a hybrid day is always a pain. This MCP toolset lets you find an open spot and lock it down before you even commute. The agent uses `list_desks` to see what is open and runs `reserve_desk` to grab your spot. If your plans change on the train, tell Claude Desktop to run `cancel_desk_reservation` to free it up.

Register guests in seconds

When a client visits, you usually have to log into a separate portal just to put their name in. This tool lets you type a quick note to Claude Desktop and let it handle the form work. Claude Desktop calls `pre_register_visitor` with the guest details you provide in the chat. It can also check `list_rooms` to make sure you have a place to meet them when they arrive.
