Connect Coalesce MCP to Claude Code
Create your Vinkius account to connect Coalesce to Claude Code and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Control Coalesce from the terminal
Use `trigger_job` inside a shell script to automate your data pipeline. Claude Code executes the command and waits for the confirmation response. Integrate `get_run_status` into your cron jobs to monitor progress. It pipes the status back to your console so you can log the output to a file.
Query Coalesce metadata headlessly
Call `list_environments` to verify your setup before running a deployment. Claude Code returns the list in plain text for easy parsing. Use `list_nodes` to inspect transformation logic without a browser. It helps you verify that your current branch matches the expected node configuration.
Automate job tracking
Run `list_jobs` to audit your organization's activity. Claude Code displays the jobs in your terminal, making it easy to grep for specific results. Get granular details with `get_job_details` when you need to investigate a failure. The tool provides the raw data you need for your CI/CD reports.
