Perplexity

Fast customer syncing and invite dispatch

`add_new_customer` lets Claude Desktop push contact details straight into your feedback pipeline during a conversation. You tell your agent who just bought from you, and it queues them up instantly. Once they are in the system, you can use `send_review_invite` to request their feedback. This stops you from jumping between your browser tabs just to send a simple follow-up email.

Monitor feedback loops with the Claude Desktop MCP Server

`list_online_reviews` pulls your latest public ratings right into the Claude Desktop interface. Your agent reads the raw text, spots negative trends, and drafts responses on the spot. If you want to check what is happening internally before a review goes public, `list_internal_feedback` fetches direct customer surveys. You catch issues early before they hit Google or Facebook.

Multi-location review analysis

`get_review_metrics` extracts performance data across all your business units. Your agent compares locations, highlights drop-offs in ratings, and builds quick summaries. You can target specific areas by running `list_business_locations` to isolate underperforming branches. This gives you exact numbers to address with local managers.
