Perplexity

Query Gerrit changes inside Claude Desktop

Stop hunting for change IDs in your browser tabs. Use `query_changes` to pull open reviews directly into your chat session. You can refine your search by status or project, letting you see exactly what needs attention without leaving your workspace.

Inspect patch sets without the UI

When you need to know which revision is currently under review, just ask. The `list_patchsets` tool grabs the history for any specific change ID. It gives you the raw data you need to understand the evolution of a feature. You'll see the exact patch history in seconds.

Manage your Gerrit identity

Check your account status and associated emails using `get_account` and `list_emails`. This ensures your agent is acting on your behalf correctly. It removes the guesswork from identity management. You'll always know which user context the server is using during your session.
