Perplexity

Send links and notes directly via Claude Desktop

The `send_push_notification` tool transmits text, links, or files from your local machine to any of your registered hardware destinations. Claude Desktop accesses this tool to pipe terminal output, logs, or quick notes to your physical devices without requiring you to open a browser tab or grab your phone. You specify the target device using `list_connected_devices` to get the correct identifiers. Claude Desktop routes the data through the local stdio transport, meaning your notification fires the millisecond the model finishes writing its response.

Track and clean up your notification history

The `list_recent_pushes` tool retrieves your historical push data so Claude Desktop can read past messages or links you sent earlier. This lets your agent pull context from previous transfers to continue a task or find a lost link. If things get cluttered, the agent runs `remove_push_record` to delete specific entries from your history. Keeping your push feed clean takes one quick chat command instead of manual hunting.

Manage channel subscriptions from your chat

The `subscribe_to_channel` tool registers your account to public or private Pushbullet feeds directly from the chat interface. Your agent handles the subscription process, letting you follow update feeds without leaving your workspace. To keep your feed relevant, the agent uses `list_channel_subscriptions` to audit your active feeds and `unsubscribe_from_channel` to drop ones you no longer need. This keeps your notification stream focused entirely on the data you actually want.
