Automate Keys via Claude Code

This MCP Server uses `create_project_api_key` and `create_user_api_key` to generate API tokens directly from your CLI. Claude Code executes these commands in headless environments, making it easy to script key creation during system setup. You can pipe the tool output directly into other terminal utilities or save them as temporary environment variables. This setup keeps your automation scripts clean and free of hardcoded secrets.

Decline Invites from the CLI

The tools `get_invitation` and `decline_invitation` allow you to audit and reject project invitations from your terminal. Claude Code can run these tools during cron jobs or CI runs to enforce access policies. If an invitation comes from an untrusted domain, Claude Code declines it instantly. You do not need to open a browser or log into a web console to keep your organization secure.

Update Notification Emails

The tools `create_email`, `update_email`, and `delete_email` modify your Equinix Metal profile settings via the command line. Claude Code calls these tools to update your alert routing when shifting server responsibilities. You run a single terminal command, and the agent updates your default communication address. It validates the change and ensures your team receives critical hardware alerts.
