Perplexity

Build custom automation scripts using the MCP Server.

You can use `create_task` and `update_task` together. This lets you build workflows that automatically assign tasks or change status based on external triggers. It's perfect for those times when your local script needs Wrike context, like updating a task immediately after reading its current details via `get_task_details`.

Get full project visibility without leaving the chat.

`list_folders_and_projects` maps out your entire workspace hierarchy. You can then use this map to generate a list of all projects and associated tasks using `list_tasks`. Need files? Run `list_task_attachments` on any task ID, and Claude Desktop gets the file names right away, giving you instant inventory.

Manage team communication directly from your local environment.

`add_task_comment` lets you post notes to a specific Wrike task. You don't have to switch apps or even open the web portal. Want to see what was said? Call `list_task_comments`. This reads the full discussion history, letting your AI client summarize complex threads for you right in the chat.
