Perplexity

Claude Code finds activities via CLI

The `find_activity` tool allows you to search for tasks right from your shell. It returns raw data that you can pipe into other system utilities. You avoid the browser entirely. Just run your command and the agent prints the results to your terminal window.

Query by key in Claude Code

Run `get_activity_by_key` to pull specific details based on an ID. It's built for developers who need to verify data without leaving the console. You save time by keeping your eyes on the terminal. The output is formatted for quick reading or further script processing.

Randomize with Claude Code

Invoke `get_random_activity` to get a fresh idea injected into your pipeline. It works perfectly for scripts or automated reminders. You control the flow from your bash prompt. The agent handles the connection and displays the result as text.
