Perplexity

Headless 5E Arena stats gathering

Run `get_player_stats` directly from your shell to grab data for your scripts. Claude Code processes the JSON output so you can feed it into your own analysis tools. This is perfect for cron jobs that need to monitor performance over time. No browser needed, just pure data output in your terminal.

Terminal-based match history queries

Execute `get_match_history` through the CLI to get a list of recent games. You can pipe this output into other utilities to generate performance reports on the fly. It keeps your workflow entirely within the terminal. The agent handles the server communication while you manage the data flow.

Automated 5E Arena tournament alerts

Use `get_tournament_schedule` in your bash scripts to check for active bracket matches. Claude Code reports the status back to your console immediately. This keeps your deployment environment informed about tournament timing. It's a clean way to integrate real-time gaming data into your DevOps tasks.
