Headless Fastly control for CLI

Pipe your deployment logic directly into Claude Code. It calls `activate_service_version` to update your production environment during a build. It handles the API interaction without a GUI. You get the output in your terminal logs for quick review.

Automated cache management

Include `purge_all_cache` in your shell scripts to clear the edge after every successful deploy. Claude Code executes this reliably in any container. It waits for the confirmation before moving to the next task. This ensures your CI/CD pipeline stays in sync with your global CDN state.

System-wide service monitoring

Use `list_services` and `get_service_stats` to monitor your infrastructure from the shell. Claude Code gathers this data for your status reports. It pipes the info into other CLI tools easily. You can automate your monitoring alerts based on what it finds.
