Perplexity

Map your exact project structure.

The `list_workspaces` and `list_projects` tools pull your exact Hive hierarchy into your chat window. Claude reads your active project structures so you never have to switch tabs to find where an initiative lives. Once Claude knows the layout, it uses `list_actions` to pull current task statuses. You ask for an update, and your agent reads the live data instead of guessing.

Create tasks from Claude Desktop conversations.

The `create_action` tool lets Claude push new tasks straight to your Hive boards. When a meeting transcript drops into your chat, you just tell your agent to extract the deliverables and file them. To keep things organized, Claude checks `list_templates` and `list_labels` first. This ensures every task gets the right metadata before it hits the project queue.

Inspect deep ticket metadata.

The `get_action` tool retrieves the full history and metadata of a single Hive task. If a deadline slips, Claude pulls the exact record to see who owns it and what is missing. You get precise context without opening the browser. The MCP standard pipes the raw JSON from Hive right into your agent's context window.
