Perplexity

Instant access to field service data

Stop hunting through web dashboards to find customer history. You can use `get_customer` and `get_job` to pull specific records directly into your chat window. The data lands right in front of you. This MCP Server lets your agent reference real-time job status or technician assignments without manual lookups.

Automate your billing workflows

Checking your financial standing is simple when you query `list_invoices` and `list_estimates` through your AI client. It gives you an immediate view of pending payments. You can ask for a summary of active invoices to track revenue. The server handles the connection so you only see the live numbers from your account.

Sync your entire service team

See who is on the clock by running `list_technicians`. It shows you exactly who is available for new service calls. Keeping the schedule accurate requires knowing your staff status. This tool provides that visibility so you can assign jobs based on real-time availability.
