Perplexity

Query user directories via the CLI

The Aconex MCP Server lets you search construction directories without opening a browser. Claude Code executes `search_project_directory` to find contacts and pipes the JSON straight to your terminal. It speeds up shell scripts. You can ask the CLI tool to find a user's details, and it outputs the raw records for your deployment pipelines.

Script project creation and cloning

This MCP toolset allows DevOps engineers to automate project provisioning from the shell. Claude Code runs `copy_project` to duplicate existing templates during CI/CD runs. No UI clicks required. The tool pulls the project logo via `get_project_logo` and checks the configuration in one swift terminal command.

Audit organization users from the terminal

This server exposes administrator tools directly to your command line. Claude Code runs `list_organization_users` to extract the full roster of active accounts for security reviews. You can script status updates easily. The agent calls `update_user_status` to revoke access for inactive accounts without manual intervention.
