Perplexity

Name parsing inside Claude Desktop

Stop manually cleaning contact lists. Use `parse_name` to break full strings into salutation, first, middle, last, and suffix components. Your Claude Desktop agent handles the extraction, ensuring your CRM data stays clean without you writing a single regex pattern.

Demographic inference for MCP Server users

Identify audience traits by running `get_gender`, `get_origin`, and `get_us_race_ethnicity` against your datasets. These tools provide immediate insights into your user base. The server operates locally on your machine via stdio. Your AI client processes the data without it ever leaving your local environment.

Phone number validation and formatting

Standardize messy contact entries with `format_phone`. It converts various input formats into clean E.164 strings. Keep your database consistent. Your Claude Desktop agent triggers this tool whenever you need to prepare phone data for downstream services.
