Perplexity

Pipe pricing data in Claude Code.

Claude Code runs `get_price` to fetch raw asset valuations directly in your terminal shell. You can pipe this output into grep, jq, or local bash scripts to monitor price shifts without opening a browser. When monitoring multiple assets, the CLI agent uses `get_price_multi` to output clean JSON payloads. This makes it easy to write cron jobs that log prices to a local text file or trigger terminal alerts.

Generate terminal market reports.

This MCP server exposes `get_top_mktcap` to quickly list the highest-valued digital assets. Claude Code runs this tool to generate instant markdown reports or terminal tables right inside your SSH session. The agent chains this with `get_top_pairs` to map the most active trading venues for those assets. It outputs the volume metrics directly to stdout for immediate review or logging.

CLI historical data exports.

Claude Code triggers `get_historical_minute` to grab high-frequency price points directly from the terminal. The agent formats this historical data into CSV format, making it ready for immediate ingestion by other CLI data tools. For longer timelines, the CLI uses `get_historical_hourly` to fetch historical candle data. It writes these structures directly to your local file system, bypassing the need for manual python download scripts.
