Automate roadmap updates with the Craft.io MCP Server

The Craft.io MCP Server brings product strategy into your terminal. Claude Code runs headless, meaning you can trigger product updates from a shell script. A quick command can fetch the latest roadmap structure using `list_portfolios`. Piping this data into other CLI tools creates powerful workflows. You can grab all active tasks via `list_items` and send them straight to a daily cron job. The entire process runs without ever opening a browser window.

Fetch market intelligence via standard I/O

This integration fetches market intelligence via standard input. You can pull competitor data right from your SSH session. Running a prompt to analyze a specific business triggers `get_company`. The CLI agent digs into the details instantly. It pulls recent events using `get_company_news` and lists the leadership team with `get_company_employees`. You get raw JSON or formatted text printed straight to your console.

Log product ideas from your shell

The server lets you log product ideas without leaving the shell. Instead of breaking your flow, you can tell Claude Code to log a new feature idea. The agent verifies the connection using `check_craft_status` first. Once authenticated, it pushes the new concept directly into your backlog via `create_item`. You can wrap this in a bash alias for instant idea logging. Your product team gets the update while you keep your hands on the keyboard.
