How to Use the Beekeeper MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I use Claude Code to send a message in Beekeeper from a script?

First, get the user's ID with claude mcp beekeeper searchusers --email 'user@example.com'. Then, pipe that user ID into your next command: claude mcp beekeeper sendmessage --userid --message 'Your text here'. It's designed to be chained in scripts.

Q: What's the command to connect Claude Code to the Beekeeper MCP?

It's a single command: claude mcp add --transport http beekeeper -- . Your token goes in the URL. Run claude mcp list to confirm it's connected.

Q: Is it possible to get a list of all Beekeeper streams as JSON via Claude Code?

Yes, that's exactly what it's for. Just run claude mcp beekeeper liststreams. You'll get a raw JSON array of all streams that you can pipe to tools like jq for filtering or processing.

Automate Beekeeper tasks in your shell scripts

This MCP Server connects Beekeeper directly to your terminal. Now you can write shell scripts that manage your frontline team. For example, pipe the output of `list_users` to `jq` to find inactive accounts, then feed their IDs into another script that uses `send_message` to ping them. It's all about automation. Set up a cron job that runs nightly, uses `list_posts` to find posts in a specific stream, and backs them up. You have the raw tools to manage Beekeeper without ever opening a browser.

Integrate Beekeeper into your CI/CD pipelines

Make Beekeeper part of your DevOps workflow. When a new developer's first pull request is merged, a GitHub Action can trigger Claude Code. The script can use `search_users` to find their Beekeeper profile and `send_message` to send them links to internal documentation and the engineering team's stream. This turns manual onboarding steps into a fully automated process. You can also use it for notifications. A failed build could trigger a script to `create_post` in the on-call developers' stream, alerting them to the problem instantly.

Run headless data operations with Claude Code

Once connected, you can treat the Beekeeper API like any other command-line utility. Use the `list_streams` tool and pipe the output to a text file. Get your tenant's basic stats with `get_tenant_info` and log it to a monitoring service. It's built for headless environments. This MCP Server is perfect for SREs and backend developers who need to pull data for analysis or integrate Beekeeper into other backend systems. You get clean, predictable JSON output that you can pipe, filter, and transform with standard Unix tools.
