Perplexity

Publish listings and predict categories

`create_item` publishes new listings to your store by passing titles, prices, and images directly from your local assets. Your agent reads local product directories, matches the parameters, and pushes the inventory live. `predict_category` analyzes your product title before you publish to ensure you select the correct category ID. This keeps your listings organized and prevents platform flags for misclassified items.

Track shipments and SLAs via this MCP Server

`get_shipment` pulls real-time tracking data and carrier updates for any order in your account. You ask your agent for a status update, and it queries the carrier details instantly. `get_shipment_sla` calculates the delivery deadline for each transaction so you never miss a shipping window. This MCP integration monitors fulfillment bottlenecks before they trigger platform penalties.

Resolve buyer questions and post-sale messages

`search_questions` scans your incoming pre-sale inquiries so you can address buyer doubts immediately. Your agent drafts responses based on your current stock levels and product descriptions. `send_post_sale_message` sends direct updates to buyers after they purchase to confirm tracking or resolve issues. If a dispute arises, `get_claim` fetches the exact details of the case so you can respond with facts.
