Perplexity

Aggregate sales across channels

`get_sales_summary` pulls aggregated sales data from all your connected marketplaces directly into your chat window. Your agent parses the raw numbers to highlight which channels drove the most revenue yesterday without making you open five different browser tabs. You can also run `list_stores` to see every active integration. From there, your agent correlates this list with performance metrics to isolate underperforming regions in seconds.

Monitor store health with this MCP Server

`get_store_health` retrieves the operational status of your connected storefronts to catch API disconnects or suspension risks early. Instead of logging into multiple seller portals, you ask your agent to run this check every morning. The `list_merchant_alerts` tool extracts urgent notifications from Amazon or eBay that require your immediate attention. Your agent flags these issues right in the sidebar so you can address policy violations before they impact your buy box share.

Audit inventory and active promotions

`get_inventory_report` lists stock levels across your channels to prevent costly stockouts. Your agent matches this data against incoming order volume to predict exactly when you need to reorder. Combining this with `list_store_promotions` lets you see if active discounts are draining your inventory too fast. You get a clear picture of stock velocity without leaving your desktop workspace.
