Manage customers and jobs directly from Claude Desktop

This HiFlow MCP Server connects your local desktop agent directly to your active client list and active projects. You ask Claude Desktop to check on a client, and it uses `get_customer` or `list_customers` to pull the exact account details without making you open a browser tab. Creating new accounts is just as fast. When a new lead comes in, tell your agent to run `create_customer` to log their profile instantly, then follow up by running `list_jobs` to see where you can slot their project.

Audit billing data inside your chat

The server exposes tools like `get_invoice` and `list_invoices` to let your desktop client inspect payment states on demand. Instead of digging through accounting software, you ask the agent to locate unpaid balances or check historical billing patterns. You can also draft or review quotes on the fly. Your agent calls `get_estimate` or `list_estimates` to pull up past pricing structures so you can write accurate new proposals without manual copying.

Monitor operations with this MCP Server

This toolset exposes live operational metrics directly to your workspace. Your agent uses `get_activity` to pull your main dashboard feed and `list_timesheets` to verify exactly how many hours your team logged on active tasks. Running `get_me` verifies your own login permissions and checks current session parameters. It keeps your billing, timing, and administrative data aligned in a single chat interface.
