Perplexity

Audit Resource Availability via MCP Server

The `list_resources` tool lets you audit your team's current availability directly inside Claude Desktop. Your agent queries this list to find active team members before running `list_bookings` to check their current allocations. You get a clean breakdown of Hub Planner overbookings and bench time directly in your Claude Desktop chat. When schedules shift, ask Claude Desktop to check `list_unassigned` to spot orphaned Hub Planner tasks that need an owner.

Reconcile Project Timelines

The `list_projects` tool fetches your active Hub Planner timelines directly into Claude Desktop. When you ask your agent about active jobs, it cross-references these details with `list_events` to account for planned Hub Planner time-off. This means Claude Desktop won't let you schedule a critical kickoff when Hub Planner shows your lead developer is out. You can also query `list_categories` to see how Hub Planner classifies time across different client accounts.

Map Teams and Clients Instantly

The `list_teams` tool maps out your entire Hub Planner organizational structure inside Claude Desktop. Your local client pairs this structure with `list_clients` to identify which Hub Planner accounts get the most attention. This setup lets you run high-level Hub Planner operational audits using simple Claude Desktop prompts. The agent uses `list_tags` to filter Hub Planner resources by skill set, ensuring you place the right people on the right jobs.
