Audit live Facebook chats inside Claude Desktop

Your local Claude Desktop client uses `list_conversations` to pull active chat lists directly into your sidebar. The tool fetches the most recent threads, letting your agent flag unread messages or analyze customer sentiment without you opening a browser tab. If a thread needs attention, the agent uses `get_messages` to read the full history. This local setup runs via stdio, meaning your conversation data stays on your machine until you ask Claude to process it.

Control your brand voice with custom personas

Managing multiple customer service profiles is easier when Claude Desktop inspects your setups using `list_personas`. This MCP Server lets your agent see exactly which custom profiles are active on your page. You can query specific styles using `get_persona_info` before writing back. It keeps your automated and manual replies uniform across your entire page operation.

Send structured replies using Claude Desktop

Draft and fire off replies directly from the Claude Desktop chat interface using `send_message`. The tool handles the outbound delivery, turning your raw chat instructions into live Facebook replies instantly with this MCP setup. For marketing campaigns, your agent checks `list_message_creative` to pull pre-approved templates. This ensures you never send a broken link or an off-brand message to a customer.
