Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 2 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where ElectricSQL (Sync Engine) data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Real-time Sync — Fetch data from Postgres tables with support for initial snapshots and incremental updates using log offsets.
- Shape Management — Define specific subsets of data (shapes) using SQL-like WHERE clauses and precise column selection.
- Live Streaming — Enable long-polling or Server-Sent Events (SSE) to keep your agent updated as data changes in the database.
- Complex Filtering — Use POST-based subset snapshots to handle complex WHERE clauses without hitting URL length limits.
- Pagination & Limits — Efficiently browse large datasets with built-in limit, offset_rows, and order_by support.
