Perplexity

Accessing structured data via the MCP Server.

Need to build a component that shows open tasks? Call `zoho_list_tasks` and import the results. You'll get subjects, due dates, statuses, and priorities ready for your code. The data is clean, so you can pipe it directly into a React or Python model. Alternatively, if you need to show calendar items, run `zoho_list_events`. This returns title, start/end dates, and location—perfect for populating a visual component in your dashboard.

Logging and updating CRM activities via the MCP Server.

If a user completes a call or meeting, you can programmatically log it. Use `zoho_create_call` to record the subject, type (Inbound/Outbound), purpose, and start time directly into your app's backend logic. Likewise, use `zoho_create_event` when scheduling a new appointment. When things change, you don't want stale data. The `zoho_update_task` function lets you set status or push the due date in code whenever necessary.

Retrieving complete activity context using Cline.

To build a detailed record view, your component needs notes. Use `zoho_list_notes`, passing the required module and record ID to pull all associated titles and content. This is key for showing full history. You can also list calls with `zoho_list_calls`—it gives you subject, type, result, and duration, allowing your code to calculate metrics like average call length.
