Perplexity

Run your venture pipeline from the CLI

Claude Code lets you manage your entire deal flow without a browser. You can pipe a local directory of PDF files into the terminal, and the agent will call `submit_pitch_deck` for each file to start the triage process. This MCP is built for terminal speed. Once uploaded, you can query the analysis results using `get_deck_analysis` and pipe the output straight into local grep or jq commands to filter out deals that don't match your criteria.

Generate memos using this command-line MCP Server

You can automate your weekly reporting by running a cron job that triggers Claude Code. The agent will fetch the latest submissions with `list_submissions` and generate polished investment reports using `generate_investment_memo`. The terminal output can be redirected into a local markdown file or pushed directly to your team's shared repository, making it easy to share updates without opening a heavy web app.

Audit your deal flow database from the shell

Clean up your records using automated shell commands. Claude Code can pull the complete history of any submission using `get_submission_audit` to check for errors or changes. If a record is outdated or needs to be removed, the agent can execute `delete_submission` from the terminal, keeping your database clean without any manual database queries.
