Perplexity

Full server control in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and the terminal to check your infrastructure. You can use `list_servers` to see what is running and `get_server` to pull specific details right into your chat window. It handles the heavy lifting of querying your Forge account so you can focus on debugging or scaling. When you need to verify health, just ask and the tool retrieves the data instantly.

Trigger deployments from your chat

You can push updates to your live environments without leaving your workspace. Use `deploy_site` to start your deployment queue whenever you are ready to ship code. This keeps your deployment history clean and your workflow moving. You get confirmation as soon as the request hits the Forge API, saving you from manual dashboard refreshes.

Audit access and site health

Keep tabs on who has access to your production boxes by running `list_ssh_keys`. You can also check your current queue status with `list_workers` to make sure your background jobs are actually processing. If a site is acting up, use `get_site` to verify the configuration details. It is a faster way to spot configuration drift than clicking through the web interface.
