Perplexity

Terminal-driven lead piping and export

This MCP server connects `list_leads` and `get_lead_details` directly to your shell environment. Claude Code can query your latest digital card scans and pipe the raw JSON directly into local tools like jq or curl. You can run quick CLI audits of new contacts without leaving your terminal session. Ask the agent to format the last ten leads as a TSV file, and it writes the output to stdout.

Headless NFC card fleet monitoring

This MCP server exposes `list_physical_cards` and `get_card_details` to let you monitor hardware deployments from the command line. Claude Code checks which physical cards are active and logs their serial numbers to your terminal. You can write cron jobs or shell scripts that trigger on click events. The agent queries `get_click_analytics` to help you identify dead links or unassigned cards.

Scripted profile updates and settings audits

This MCP server provides `update_profile` and `get_account_settings` for CLI-based configuration management. Claude Code lets you script bulk updates to your digital business card profiles using environment variables. Instead of clicking through a web interface, you run a single terminal command to change your support links or company settings across all active cards.
