Perplexity

Terminal-native catalog search

Scraping government websites from the command line is miserable. You need a faster way to find public identifiers. Run a quick prompt in your shell. Claude Code fires `search_catalog` to hit the portal and returns the exact dataset IDs you need. No browser required.

Headless SoQL extraction

Bash scripts that parse massive public CSVs break constantly. You need precise API queries that fit into your pipeline. By calling `query_dataset`, your CLI agent executes SoQL directly. It passes $limit and $where parameters to extract a clean JSON array, ready to pipe into your next cron job or database migration.

Claude Code MCP Server automation

Manual data updates are a waste of engineering time. You want this information flowing automatically into your systems. Set up a headless script in your CI/CD pipeline. Claude Code wakes up, queries the latest regional statistics, formats the output, and pushes the update to your production server.
