Perplexity

Trigger instant notification broadcasts

The `create_broadcast` tool lets your Claude Desktop client fire off system-wide notifications directly from your chat panel. You do not need to log in to another dashboard or run curl commands. Tell your agent what the alert needs to say, define the recipients, and watch it handle the delivery. The tool formats the payload and triggers the multi-channel broadcast instantly.

Audit active broadcast statuses

The `get_broadcast` tool lets you inspect the exact state and delivery status of any notification directly inside your Claude Desktop interface. When a user claims they did not get an alert, you need answers fast. Your agent retrieves the delivery metrics and payload details in real time. You do not have to write database queries or search through logs to see what went wrong.

Track project notification history

The `list_broadcasts` tool pulls a complete history of your project's notifications straight into your claude.ai workspace using this MCP Server. Keep tabs on every alert your system has sent without digging through log files. Your agent can quickly parse this list to spot trends. It checks for duplicate sends and verifies that your automated system alerts are actually firing when they should.
