Perplexity

Run GorillaDesk operations right inside Claude Desktop

This MCP Server exposes `list_jobs` and `get_customer` to let you query your field schedules directly inside Claude Desktop. Stop bouncing between browser tabs to check your field schedule. You get immediate access to your team's calendar without leaving your Claude Desktop chat window. It uses your local system config to talk directly to your service dashboard, making admin work feel like a simple conversation.

Quick customer updates and note logging

By exposing `create_note` and `update_customer`, this toolset lets you update your field records directly from your Claude Desktop chat. Technicians send field updates, and your AI client logs them immediately. When a client calls with a change, type it into Claude Desktop. The agent runs `list_customers` to find the match and applies the update, keeping your office and field staff perfectly aligned.

Instant invoice retrieval and financial tracking

This MCP integration uses `get_invoice` and `list_invoices` to bring your billing history directly into your Claude Desktop workspace. Pulling up billing history shouldn't take five clicks. Your agent handles the lookup, so you spend less time digging through invoices and more time running your business. Vinkius runs this setup through its secure sandbox to protect your financial records.
