Perplexity

Terminal-driven productivity via this MCP Server

Claude Code brings your Marvin planner straight to your terminal emulator. You can run a quick command to check `get_today_items` and instantly view your daily priorities without leaving your shell. Pipeline scripts can use `update_task` to mark items as pending or completed based on the exit codes of your build tools.

Automate project setup inside Claude Code

Setting up environment repos shouldn't require clicking through a GUI. Claude Code uses `add_project` and `add_category` to spin up Marvin structures during your initialization scripts. It populates these areas with tasks using `add_task`, ensuring your team's tracking matches the repository state.

Scriptable time tracking for command-line tasks

Log your terminal sessions automatically. Claude Code triggers `start_tracking` when you initiate a long-running migration or deploy script. Once the terminal job finishes, it calls `stop_tracking` to log the precise runtime. Your Marvin timesheet updates without manual intervention.
