Perplexity

Ingest Knowledge Sources Locally

The `add_source` tool crawls content and indexes it right on your machine. This means you don't have to copy-paste massive documents; the knowledge base just gets added automatically. You can then pull data from these sources into your chat, letting Claude access information that lives locally or behind a private API endpoint. It’s perfect for working with proprietary company docs.

Query Bots with Live Data

Need to talk to an AI agent? Start by using `send_query`. This tool sends your prompt to the chatbot and returns a live response that Claude can use immediately. You get real-time conversation data, not just canned answers. Before you query, `list_bots` shows you every available bot profile. It keeps everything organized so you know exactly which agent is handling which part of your workflow.

Audit and Track Bot Activity

`list_conversations` lets you see a history of interactions, giving you the full context trail for any project. This helps you audit what was discussed and when. If you need to check the setup, `get_bot` pulls detailed info about specific bots. You can also run `list_actions` to confirm exactly which external functions are available through this MCP Server.
