🛠️ The Playbook — Claude + MCP: Autonomous Report Builder

2	MCP Connector: HubSpot – Query last-week deals, pipeline changes.
3	MCP Connector: Jira – Pull closed issues & story points.
4	Claude 3.5 Sonnet Action – Prompt: “Combine CRM + Jira JSON. Write 3 bullets: Revenue, Delivery, Risks. Add table of top 5 deals.”
5	MCP Connector: Google Docs – Create `/Reports/{date}.docx` with Claude output.
6	MCP Connector: Gmail – Email doc link to `[email protected]`; subject “Weekly Ops Brief – {date}”.
7	Fail-safe – If Claude confidence < 0.8, route draft to Slack #ops-review for human edit.
