Perplexity

Find workspace assets from Claude Desktop

The `list_assets` tool lets you find specific video files without digging through browser tabs using the MCP standard. Ask your agent to run it or search within specific directories using `list_folder_assets` to locate your footage. Once the file is found, your AI client pulls deep technical details via `get_asset`. You get the exact file specifications and metadata right in your active conversation.

Audit project folders and access lists

The `list_projects` tool lets your agent pull your active workspaces to keep track of pre-release media. This allows you to monitor workspace structures and see who has access to sensitive files via `list_project_users`. If you need to verify a specific team member, the server queries the directory using `get_user` or `list_users`. You get an instant security check without opening the admin console.

Inspect sharing links with this MCP Server

The `list_quicklinks` tool lets your agent search active review links to see what has been sent to clients. This keeps your external distribution organized and lets you audit public-facing links in real time. When a client has an issue with a specific review page, use `get_quicklink` to check its status. You will see expiration dates and access settings immediately.

Open your local config file through the developer menu and add the server settings under the mcpServers block. Restart the desktop app, and your agent will immediately show the new tools in your chat window.

No, this integration is built strictly for read-only operations to keep your media secure. Tools like `list_assets` and `get_asset` let you locate and inspect files, but you cannot write or upload new data.

Your agent calls `get_current_user` to verify your active session permissions first. From there, it uses `list_users` or `get_user` to pull profile details and workspace roles directly into your chat.

Ask your agent to run `list_quicklinks` to search your active share pages. Once you spot the right one, `get_quicklink` extracts the target destination and configuration details instantly.
