Claude Code terminal data tools

Pipe the output of `get_company_complaints` directly into your shell scripts. Claude Code fetches the JSON and lets you handle it in your pipeline. This MCP Server turns the terminal into a research station. Use `search_complaints` to pull data for your CI/CD verification tests.

Automate complaint reporting

Run recurring jobs using `get_complaints_stats` to monitor volume changes. Claude Code executes this on a schedule to track industry shifts. Integrate the tool into your local environment to pull reports without a browser. It is built for engineers who work in the CLI.

Extract specific narratives

Filter for detailed user feedback using `get_complaints_with_narrative`. Claude Code retrieves the text for your NLP processing tasks. This server allows for granular queries by state or product. You get the data in plain text, ready for your next shell command.
