Perplexity

Automate terminal-based lead flows with this MCP Server

The Customers.ai MCP Server connects your terminal to your visitor identification system for fast CLI automation. Claude Code runs `list_xray_leads` to dump raw visitor data straight to your terminal output. You can easily pipe this output to other command-line utilities or let the agent process the leads directly. It makes running cron jobs and automated reports incredibly simple.

Scripted contact synchronization

Managing contact details from a shell script is highly efficient with this integration. Claude Code uses `search_contacts` to locate specific records and `get_contact` to extract their exact attributes. If details are missing, Claude Code runs `update_contact_attributes` to fill in the blanks. It keeps your terminal-based workflows perfectly synced with your central marketing database.

Command-line messaging and tagging

This integration lets you trigger marketing outreach directly from your command line. Claude Code uses `send_text_message` to dispatch SMS updates to your contacts. For structured updates, the agent runs `send_rich_message` to send JSON payloads. It can also manage list segmentation on the fly using `add_tag_to_contact` and `remove_tag_from_contact`.
