How to Use the Aracaju MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I set up Claude Code to pull data from Aracaju for a cron job?

First, add the server with claude mcp add. Then, in your crontab, just write a standard cron expression that executes a shell command like claude mcp exec aracaju-mcp listbids >> /var/log/bids.log. It's that simple.

Pipe Aracaju's public dataset into your shell scripts. A single Claude Code command connects you to the city's live data.

Headless Data for Your CI/CD

Run `claude mcp exec aracaju-mcp list_expenses` in a GitHub Action. That's it. You get a clean JSON output of all city expenses, ready for the next step in your workflow. No browser, no UI, just raw data. This is perfect for automated monitoring. Set up a cron job to call `list_bids` every hour and send a notification if a new tender appears. Claude Code is built for this kind of headless, scheduled work.

Chain Commands in the Terminal

The output is just text, so you can use the tools you already know. Pipe the output of `list_personnel` into `jq` to find specific job titles, or use `grep` on the output of `list_contracts` to find a certain vendor. It fits right into your existing shell scripts. For example: `claude mcp exec aracaju-mcp list_revenues | jq '.[] | select(.amount > 1000000)'`. You can build powerful, one-line data queries without leaving your terminal. This MCP server just becomes another command-line tool.

The Aracaju MCP Server for DevOps

This isn't for building dashboards; it's for building systems. Use Claude Code to pull data from the Aracaju server to populate a database, run data validation checks, or trigger alerts. It's a reliable data source for your backend processes. Because it's just a CLI command, you can run it from anywhere—a Docker container, an SSH session, a serverless function. It gives your automated systems direct access to Aracaju's public financial records.
