Perplexity

Fetch live cards for accurate coding

Stop using fake mock data in your code. Use `get_card` to retrieve the real SQL or query logic directly from your BI environment. Your AI agent can then write code that matches your actual production data structures. It prevents the common errors that happen when you guess at schema definitions.

Map database schemas via Cursor

Need to know which tables your reports rely on? Use `list_databases` to see what is connected to your BI platform. It gives you the full context you need to build features that align with your existing data architecture. You don't have to jump between tools just to understand your backend.

Organize your workflow with collections

Use `list_collections` to find where specific reports are grouped. It helps you navigate large BI environments quickly. Pair this with `list_cards` to see everything inside a folder. You keep your development context clean by only pulling what you actually need.
