Terminal-Native Atlas Operations

This MCP Server brings your entire Atlas support queue directly into your terminal. DevOps engineers shouldn't have to navigate a web dashboard to check a bug report. Run a simple prompt to fetch recent issues. The CLI executes `list_tickets` and pipes the output straight to your screen. If an issue looks critical, follow up with `get_ticket` to read the full stack trace the user provided.

Atlas MCP Server for Automations

Automating support queries during a major deployment is now a simple shell script. You can script Claude Code to automatically monitor your queue during a release. Set up a cron job that runs a headless query using `list_customers` and `list_articles`. If users hit a known post-deployment snag, your script automatically matches their error to a help center article before an agent even logs in.

Open Tickets From Shell Scripts

Translating server alerts into customer-facing updates happens instantly from the command line. Server alerts usually live in Slack or PagerDuty, but sometimes they need to become public notices. When a database node goes down, tell Claude Code to alert your success team. It hits `list_users` to find who is on call and triggers `create_ticket` to log the incident internally.
