Perplexity

Query MSP documentation via Claude Desktop

The `list_companies` and `get_company` tools map out client environments instantly. You ask Claude for a specific client's details, and it pulls the exact records from Hudu. This beats clicking through a web interface during an outage. When a technician needs context fast, the agent grabs the company ID and holds it in memory for the next step.

Access passwords and assets

The `list_passwords` and `get_password` tools fetch credentials directly into your chat session. You filter by company ID to narrow down the vault, pulling only what you need to resolve a ticket. If you need infrastructure details, `list_assets` and `get_asset` grab the hardware and software configurations tied to that client. Your agent reads the exact setup before suggesting a fix.

Read articles and procedures

The `list_articles` and `get_article` tools pull your knowledge base straight into the conversation. You get the actual text of your internal guides without leaving the prompt. For step-by-step incident response, `list_procedures` and `get_procedure` retrieve the exact runbooks. Your client reads the required steps and walks you through the fix based on current documentation.
