Perplexity

Team-wide portfolio monitoring

The `get_portfolio_summary` tool brings high-level performance metrics straight into your shared VS Code environment. Teams can monitor shared investment goals or corporate treasury holdings during standups. Because configuration can be committed to Git, every developer on your team gets instant access to these metrics. This ensures everyone looks at the same financial data.

Collaborative transaction logging

The `create_activity` tool allows team members to log shared asset transactions without leaving the editor. Your AI agent handles the formatting and submits the trade directly to your self-hosted instance. If a transaction needs correction, `delete_activity` removes it using its unique identifier. Developers can verify the active transaction list anytime by running `list_activities` through the MCP bridge.

Multi-account coordination

The `list_accounts` tool maps out all corporate or personal accounts configured in your system. This prevents team members from logging activities to the wrong ledger. You can update specific account details using `update_account` or create new ones using `create_account`. This keeps your team's development sandboxes organized.
