Perplexity

Claude Code pulls queue messages

Run `receive_messages` to grab data from the terminal. This lets you pipe queue content directly into other CLI tools for quick analysis. It is built for speed. You get the message body printed to your terminal without any extra UI overhead.

Send messages from Claude Code

Use `send_message` in your CI/CD scripts to push events to the queue. Claude Code handles the payload generation so your pipelines run without manual intervention. It is a simple command-line call. Put it in a shell script and watch it update your infrastructure.

Clear your Amazon SQS Queue via terminal

Invoke `delete_message` to remove items after your batch job finishes. This keeps your queue clear and your costs down. It is the final step for any automated task. Claude Code executes it the moment the preceding process exits with a zero status.
