Perplexity

Run your standups directly inside Claude Desktop

The Fellow MCP server lets you pull raw agenda details using `get_meeting` directly inside your Claude Desktop chat interface. You can stop jumping between browser tabs during your morning syncs by having Claude Desktop display your meeting streams via `list_streams`. Ask your local Claude Desktop app to pull up specific agendas via `list_notes` to inspect the core discussion points before the call starts. The desktop app securely retrieves the text using `get_note` so you can review decisions without leaving your active chat window.

Track team tasks without leaving the chat

Tracking team tasks with the Fellow MCP server is simple because you can run `list_action_items` right inside your Claude Desktop chat. This local integration lets you filter by status to see exactly what your engineering team has pending. When someone finishes a task, tell your Claude Desktop agent to mark it off. The agent fires off `complete_action_item` behind the scenes, updating the central Fellow dashboard instantly without making you open a browser.

Assign work instantly through the desktop app

Logging new tasks with the Fellow MCP server takes seconds when you use `create_action_item` inside Claude Desktop to assign work. You can assign tasks to specific team members using their emails while discussing project updates. Run `list_users` inside Claude Desktop to double-check teammate emails before assigning a task. Running this as a local subprocess inside Claude Desktop keeps your Fellow workspace updated in real time.
