Perplexity

Track stock levels inside Claude Desktop

You can query stock status instantly with `list_inventory` directly from your chat window. Your agent pulls raw numbers on SKU availability across your network, showing you exactly what is sitting on shelves. No more logging into three different dashboards just to see if you can fulfill a bulk order. If a customer asks about a specific item, the agent runs `get_product` to pull the exact dimensions, weight, and SKU details. This local integration means you can spot low-stock situations before they cause shipping delays.

Submit logistics orders using this MCP Server

This MCP Server lets you run `create_logistics_order` directly from your workspace to initiate shipments. The agent handles the data mapping, matching your customer details with the correct warehouse nodes instantly. Once the order is in the system, you can pull up-to-the-minute updates with `get_logistics_order` or run `list_logistics_orders` to audit pending shipments. You get raw execution data straight from the fulfillment network without manual data entry.

Manage warehouse incoming and outgoing flows

You can organize incoming stock using `list_inbounds` and `get_inbound` to monitor incoming shipments. Your agent reads the status of your supply chain pipeline — and that is the bottleneck — giving you a clear window into when new inventory arrives. When things go wrong, the agent queries `list_returns` and `get_return` to track customer returns. This lets you resolve disputes or restock items without wasting hours digging through emails.
