Pipe ESG metrics into Claude Code with this MCP Server

The `get_impact_stats` tool gets raw social donation and ESG data directly to your terminal. Pipe this output into local grep or awk scripts to format reports on the fly. Claude Code executes this headless call inside your shell, making it easy to run cron jobs that grab weekly impact stats. You get raw, structured data without dealing with browser sessions.

Automate team wellness metrics via CLI

The `get_company_metrics` tool gets aggregate well-being statistics through a simple terminal command. Claude Code runs this to check overall team participation rates during active fitness campaigns. It pairs this with `list_activities` to output step counts and activity logs directly to your stdout. Instantly redirect this data into your build pipelines or reporting databases using the MCP client.

Script employee wellness rewards in your shell

The `assign_reward` tool allocates manual recognition bonuses to employees directly from the command line. Claude Code runs this tool when your build scripts or performance targets are met. You combine this with `get_user` to check the recipient's identity before executing the bonus. This lets you build lightweight, terminal-based incentive systems for your engineering team.
