Perplexity

Verify property assets with the MCP Server.

The `list_facility_assets` tool lets your entire team see all infrastructure equipment listed in Urbanise, right from their IDE. This consistency helps prevent misconfigurations. You can also use `list_maintenance_jobs` to pull a list of existing facility tasks, allowing new hires to get up to speed fast.

Access financial reports via VS Code Copilot.

`list_financial_data` gives every developer access to ledger and billing info without needing separate credentials. It's centralized. If you need a budget comparison, `list_property_budgets` pulls the necessary numbers for plan-level comparisons directly into your chat context.

Manage community data with Urbanise MCP Server.

`list_property_occupants` provides owner and resident lists that are automatically available to every team member via the committed `.vscode/mcp.json`. No more siloed data. When setting up operational code, `create_maintenance_job` allows you to define new tasks using structured inputs.
