Perplexity

Claude Code parses team logs

Run `list_recent_activity` from your terminal to dump logs into your CLI output. It's built for rapid inspection in your shell. Use `search_activity` to filter logs by keywords. Claude Code pipes this output into your next script or command.

Manage contacts via Claude Code

Pipe `list_contacts` output into a local file for quick reference. It gives you a clean list of all shared contacts. Need to find a specific client? `search_contacts` provides the data you need without opening a browser.

Script team profile lookups

Integrate `get_user` into your CI/CD scripts to fetch team metadata. It helps automate your internal reporting workflows. Always verify your connection with `check_anteater_status` in your pipeline. It prevents silent failures during automated runs.
