Headless election data for Claude Code

Use `get_race_details` in your shell scripts to pull vote counts for specific IDs. Claude Code handles the logic, piping the output directly to your log files or monitoring tools. This is ideal for automated reporting. You build the script, and the agent executes the data pull on your schedule.

Query candidates via Claude Code

Invoke `list_election_candidates` to generate CSVs or JSON logs from the command line. The agent processes the server response and saves it to your workspace. It works without a GUI, keeping your terminal environment lean. You pipe the results to your next command to build out a full pipeline.

Monitor API health with Claude Code

Run `check_api_status` as a cron job or inside a CI script. Claude Code returns the status code, letting your automation react to downtime. It provides a direct way to verify system health without a browser. If the server goes down, your script gets the signal immediately.
