Perplexity

Manage the full deal lifecycle with the MCP Server.

You can track a lead's journey through every stage—from initial contact to signed contract. The `zoho_search_deals` tool finds opportunities by name, giving you the current amount, stage (like Negotiation or Proposal), and expected closing date. Need to move things forward? Use `zoho_update_deal` to advance a deal's stage or adjust the amount after talks. It handles setting the final status to 'Closed Won' or 'Closed Lost', keeping your CRM accurate.

Generate quotes and track invoices using the MCP Server.

When it’s time for pricing, you don't want a manual spreadsheet. The `zoho_create_quote` tool builds a formal proposal linked directly to an account and deal, setting its validity period. It handles the initial setup so you can focus on the client. You also get visibility into money coming in with `zoho_list_invoices`. This shows outstanding billing documents—the subject, total amount, due date, and payment status for quick financial checks.

Build out your product catalog and quotes on demand.

If you need to reference a specific item's price or SKU, the `zoho_search_products` tool pulls details right from Zoho CRM. This means you always work with accurate pricing data. When building a new deal, you can also create catalog items using `zoho_create_product`. This ensures that any product added to a quote or sales order has a proper identifier and default unit price.
