Perplexity

Get all project spaces fast.

Need to know what's going on? Use `list_spaces` to see every Workast space you belong to. It dumps a list of your current projects right into the chat. Don't just guess where something lives. You can then call `get_space` with the specific ID, getting detailed info like team members and associated tasks.

Keep track of who’s on the team.

Workast lets you pull user data instantly. Calling `list_users` shows everyone in your team. You can then use `get_user` to check a specific person's profile details. This is great for PMs who need quick verification without logging into another system.

Update tasks and projects on the fly.

You don't have to switch apps just to nudge someone. Use `get_task` first to pull up all the current details for a specific job. After that, run `update_task` to change status or add notes. It keeps your whole workflow inside Claude Desktop and ensures everyone sees the latest version of the task data.
