Perplexity

Run live content moderation.

The `hive-ai-mcp` server gives Claude direct access to your moderation pipelines. You paste a URL or block of text into the chat, and Claude runs `moderate_text` or `moderate_image` instantly. This beats clicking through a separate dashboard. You get immediate classification on whether that user-submitted avatar is safe for work, right in your conversation.

Handle video and audio checks.

Large files take time to process. You trigger `moderate_video_async` or `moderate_audio_async` and Claude gets a task ID back from the API. When you need the verdict, tell Claude to check `get_async_task_status`. Once it finishes, `get_async_task_result` pulls the final safety tags into your chat so you can make a decision.

Catch generated content instantly via MCP Server.

Users submit synthetic media constantly. You ask Claude to run `detect_ai_generated_image` or `detect_ai_generated_text` on suspect files to see if they pass the smell test. It tells you if Midjourney or GPT-4 created the asset. You stop fake reviews and synthetic spam before they hit your production database.
