Perplexity

Spin up projects and tasks from your chat

Claude Desktop talks to your local setup or remote endpoint to run actions instantly. You can tell your agent to spin up a new initiative without opening a browser. It uses `create_project` to establish the baseline and `create_task` to populate the action items immediately. This keeps you focused on the actual work instead of jumping between tabs. Your agent handles the messy JSON formatting under the hood, writing details directly into your agency database.

Audit agency progress with this MCP Server

Keep tabs on everything your team is doing. Your AI client pulls active files and matches them against existing work using `list_projects` and `list_tasks`. You get a clean, real-time snapshot of what's on the board. No more manual status updates or chasing down teammates for progress reports. This MCP Server gives your agent direct access to the ground truth so you can spot bottlenecks before they derail your timeline.

Track time and clients without leaving Claude

Spotting billing leaks requires accurate records. Your agent queries your database using `list_clients` to identify active accounts, then matches them against hours logged via `list_time_entries`. You see exactly where the hours went. It makes client reporting fast because the AI does the heavy lifting of gathering and organizing the raw numbers.
