Perplexity

Automate Roster Syncs

The `get_attendance` tool lets you pull daily class sheets directly from the command line. You can schedule a cron job where Claude Code fetches the roster and pipes the output into your local database. Tracking missing students happens entirely in the shell. The MCP agent executes `list_registrations` to compare enrolled accounts against the actual check-ins, dumping the discrepancies into a standard log file.

Query Amilia MCP Server Data

The `list_accounts` tool drops family profiles straight into your terminal session. You ask Claude Code to find a specific user, and it returns the exact JSON payload without requiring a browser tab. Getting deeper account info requires zero clicks. Your agent runs `get_account_details` followed by `list_contacts` to grab phone numbers, formatting the results via standard output for your bash scripts to parse.

Export Program Schedules

The `list_programs` tool exposes your entire recreation catalog to your CI/CD pipeline. Claude Code can pull the active season data and automatically update your static site generator during the nightly build. Granular scheduling is just another command. The agent triggers `list_activities` and `list_activity_occurrences` to build a complete calendar export, saving it as a CSV before closing the headless session.

Common questions about Amilia MCP in Claude Code

Run claude mcp add --transport http amilia -- in your terminal. Make sure all flags come before the server name.

Yes. You can ask Claude Code to run list_programs and pipe the resulting text directly into jq or a custom shell script.

Your terminal might be blocking the outbound HTTP request. Check your firewall settings and verify the endpoint URL using claude mcp list.

No. The client connects to the Vinkius endpoint, runs the requested tools, and exits. It works perfectly for ephemeral Docker containers or GitHub Actions.

Vinkius never stores your data. The MCP protocol routes your student sign-ups and attendance logs through a temporary V8 isolate that self-destructs the millisecond the terminal disconnects.
