Perplexity

Terminal-Native Basis MCP Server

SREs and backend devs don't want to click through a marketing UI to check API limits or data anomalies. You can now inspect DSP metrics directly from the command line. A simple prompt triggers `get_campaign_performance` to dump live stats right into stdout. You can chain these operations headless in your CI/CD pipelines. Have a script run `list_campaigns` every morning, pipe the output into a custom parser, and alert the team if spend drops to zero unexpectedly.

Automate Tactic Reporting

Grabbing line item data for custom billing systems usually requires building a dedicated microservice. Now your terminal agent handles the extraction. It uses `list_tactics` to find active buys and `get_tactic_performance` to pull the exact spend numbers. The agent formats the output exactly how your database needs it. Ask it to generate a SQL insert script based on the live metrics, and it writes the file locally without you lifting a finger.

Query Agency Portfolios Fast

Navigating massive advertiser accounts is tedious when you just need one ID. Your CLI agent finds it in seconds. It runs `list_clients` to grab the parent accounts, then fires `list_brands` to drill down into the specific sub-brands. Once you have the target brand, you can inspect their active inventory. Calling `list_ads` pulls the creative metadata, and `get_ad` extracts the exact tracking pixels required for your backend validation scripts.

Common questions about Basis Technologies MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http basis-tech -- ` in your terminal. Make sure to put the transport flag before the server name. Verify the connection with `claude mcp list`.

Headless execution works exactly how you expect. You can write a bash script that triggers the CLI to run `get_campaign_performance` and email the results to your marketing team automatically.

It outputs whatever format you request. Tell the agent to pull metrics using `get_tactic_performance` and format the response as raw JSON, CSV, or a markdown table.

The CLI will throw an auth error on the next tool call. You just update the URL endpoint in your `~/.claude.json` configuration file with a fresh token and resume your work.

Extremely secure. Vinkius handles the auth remotely while the connection runs through an isolated V8 sandbox. Your client names, brand IDs, and ad creatives are never logged or cached on our infrastructure.
