Headless API management with Claude Code
Claude Code calls `list_team_apis` to grab metadata for your CI/CD pipelines. It works entirely in the terminal without requiring a browser session. You build automation scripts that query your API landscape. It returns the raw data you need to trigger subsequent build steps.
Automate blueprint publishing via Claude Code
Pipe your local Markdown files into `publish_blueprint` to update your documentation. Claude Code handles the network request and confirms success in the shell. This fits into your existing terminal workflow. It removes the need for manual API interactions during your deployment process.
Run CI tests with Claude Code
Invoke `run_tests` to validate your API against Dredd standards from your command line. Claude Code reports the status code and test summary immediately. It forces a failure if your code drifts from the blueprint. You keep your API contracts strict without leaving your terminal environment.
