Perplexity

Pull Hudu assets directly into Claude Desktop chat

The `list_assets` tool pulls configuration items directly into your local Claude Desktop chat window. You ask Claude Desktop to fetch a Hudu router layout, querying your documentation database to show serial numbers, IP assignments, and physical locations. This MCP integration runs locally on your machine via stdio transport. Your local agent reads the asset fields instantly, matching them against active logs to find the root cause of a system failure.

Run live network audits with this Hudu MCP Server

The `list_networks` tool exposes active IP subnets and VLAN configurations to your chat window. Claude Desktop parses these Hudu network blocks to map out routing tables and flag overlapping IP ranges during client onboarding. You feed raw subnet data directly to the agent without copying text. The desktop app processes the structured output to verify that your documentation matches the live network state.

Retrieve runbooks during active troubleshooting sessions

The `list_procedures` tool loads step-by-step IT instructions directly into your Claude Desktop context window. When an outage occurs, your MCP agent reads the exact steps documented for that company to guide you through recovery. Having these guides inside the chat app eliminates the need to search the web portal manually. You resolve incidents faster because the desktop client has direct access to your internal runbooks.
