Perplexity

Deep dive into player performance

Stop guessing why a player is performing well or hitting a wall. Use `get_player_stats` to pull their current win streak, K/D ratio, and headshot percentage directly into your Claude Desktop session. Everything you need to assess a player's history is right there. The `get_player_history` tool lets you review past match results and ELO shifts to see the real trajectory of their performance.

Track live hub and match data

Keep your Claude Desktop workflow updated with the latest tournament activity. Call `get_hub_matches` to see ongoing or upcoming games, or grab specific details with `get_match` to understand the current state of any lobby. Use `get_hub_leaderboard` to pull current rankings for any hub. You'll get instant access to player ELO and placement data without switching tabs or refreshing web pages.

Find players and tournaments instantly

Locate any competitor on the platform using `search_players`. You get their avatar, ELO, and game-specific level immediately, allowing Claude Desktop to summarize their competitive standing in seconds. Need to find where the action is? Use `search_tournaments` to pull active tournament data including prize pools and start times. It turns your chat into a live command center for competitive gaming.
