Perplexity

Add data rows via the MCP Server.

When you commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` config, every developer on the team gets immediate access to `add_row`. Your agent writes functions that append new records with specific values across any designated sheet. This keeps your shared scripts consistent because the tool handles the data structure and connection details automatically.

Search files using `search_workbooks`.

Team members can rely on `search_workbooks` to find required project sheets. Instead of manual searches, they write code that filters all available workbooks by criteria like owner or date. This standardization prevents confusion and ensures everyone is referencing the correct version of the data.

Get current sheet metadata with `list_worksheets`.

Before writing a complex data transformation script, call `list_worksheets`. This gives every developer an immediate, programmatic list of all sheets in the target workbook. It's crucial for team-wide code quality because it prevents hardcoding sheet names that might change.
