Claude Code executes media monitoring in the terminal
You can pipe `list_monitoring_queries` into your shell scripts to monitor your brand status. It outputs the list of active queries directly to your terminal. It also uses `list_media_mentions` to fetch recent activity for your automation pipelines. You get the raw data ready for your next command.
Headless sentiment analysis via Claude Code
Run `get_query_sentiment_summary` to pull sentiment scores into your CI/CD workflow. It provides the data you need for automated reporting. Use `list_top_media_sources` to identify high-volume channels programmatically. Your scripts can then filter these sources for further inspection.
Retrieve specific mention data with Claude Code
The `get_mention_details` tool allows your scripts to pull metadata for specific hits. You can log this data to files or other services automatically. `list_recent_high_reach_mentions` gives you a quick snapshot of viral activity. It helps your automated system prioritize high-impact events.
