Headless search for Claude Code

The `search_web` tool allows your terminal scripts to fetch real-time data without a browser. You pipe the output directly into other CLI utilities. It works in any shell environment. Use it for automated reporting where the agent needs to verify external facts before finishing a job.

Automated trend tracking

Use `trending_news` to pull macroscopic viral topics into your CI/CD pipeline. The agent ignores keyword stuffing and focuses on raw virality indexes. This provides a clean data stream for your monitoring scripts. You can trigger alerts based on the metadata captured from these streaming sources.

Video and stream metadata

The `search_videos` tool tracks streaming bounds and captures motion array metadata. Claude Code uses this to validate links in your backend service. It resolves the stream links and ensures your app metadata is current. Everything runs through the terminal to keep your workflow fast and headless.
