Perplexity

Command-Line Document Generation

The `trigger_document_merge` tool lets you generate PDFs and Word files from your shell using Claude Code. You pass raw JSON files or pipe terminal outputs to your agent, which instantly merges the data into your Docupilot templates. By chaining this tool with `get_document_generation_status`, Claude Code polls the generation queue and prints the final download URL directly to your stdout. This makes it easy to integrate automated document runs into your local shell scripts.

Shell-Based Template Auditing via MCP Server

The `get_template_merge_field_audit` tool allows Claude Code to run instant field checks on any template in your account. You can verify required variables directly in your terminal before committing changes to your CI/CD pipeline. Your agent uses `get_template_schema` to output raw JSON structures of your templates, helping you debug data-binding issues without opening a browser. It brings complete visibility into your Docupilot configuration directly to your command line.

Headless Merge Tracking and Monitoring

The `list_latest_document_merges` tool lets Claude Code monitor recent document generation activity directly from your terminal session. You can quickly see which documents were created, their status, and their output formats. If a script breaks during a bulk run, Claude Code queries `list_failed_document_merges` to pinpoint the exact records that caused the failure. This helps you clean up bad input data and restart your jobs without guesswork.
