Perplexity

Handle all student questions.

You deal with student inquiries using the `get_question` tool to pull up details. You can then reply directly by running `create_question_reply`, or if needed, use `delete_question`. Claude Desktop lets you keep track of everything without leaving your chat. You'll also find tools like `list_questions` and `get_message_thread` to manage the context surrounding those questions.

Keep up with student messages.

Sending or reading direct chats is straightforward. Use `list_message_threads` to see every conversation, then use `get_message_thread` to grab specific details. Need to reply? Run `create_message` right from your agent. Don't forget you can update status with `update_message_thread`, marking conversations as read or starring important ones.

Track course progress and feedback.

The MCP Server lets you pull student data using `list_reviews` to see the latest feedback. You can also check what courses are available for your students with `list_courses`. If a thread gets updated, use `update_message_thread`. This helps keep your dashboard current. The agent handles all that messy API interaction, so you just read the result.
