Perplexity

Run terminal-based macro analysis via MCP Server

The `get_all_key_rates` tool pulls the entire ECB rate corridor directly into your command-line interface. Claude Code executes this tool to output clean JSON or plain text rates that you can immediately pipe into other terminal utilities. You can automate daily rate checks by running the CLI in a cron job or a bash script. The tool returns the latest MRO, deposit, and marginal lending rates without requiring a heavy web browser or graphical interface.

Monitor banking transmission from the CLI

The `get_mfi_rates` tool fetches eurozone commercial interest rates directly to your terminal. Claude Code uses this raw data from the MCP Server to evaluate how official policy changes are affecting actual bank lending. You can instruct the CLI to process these rates and output a clean CSV. This lets you integrate live transmission metrics into your existing headless data pipelines and shell-based financial models.

Track the money market floor from your shell

The `get_deposit_rate` tool isolates the ECB deposit facility rate, the critical anchor for short-term eurozone yields. Claude Code calls this tool to quickly verify the current lower bound of the rate corridor. The CLI agent uses this rate to run instant backtests or update environment variables in your deployment scripts. It provides a fast, keyboard-driven way to check the key driver of eurozone money markets.
