Perplexity

Run terminal-based bank screening via Claude Code

The `list_institutions` tool lets Claude Code run fast, terminal-based queries on active banks, piping the raw JSON directly into your local shell scripts. Claude Code connects to this MCP Server to run raw queries against `list_institutions` and `list_financials` directly from the command line. No heavy GUI gets in your way. You get raw, fast terminal execution, allowing you to filter banks by state or asset size using simple terminal commands and get instant, structured regulatory data.

Automate bank failure reporting in CI/CD pipelines

The `list_failures` tool lets Claude Code track bank closures directly from your terminal pipeline. The CLI agent queries `list_failures` and `list_history` to check for new bank closures or structural mergers. You can script Claude Code to run this check on a cron job, sending alerts to your team if a new failure is logged. It integrates directly with your existing terminal toolchain. The agent parses the historical data, compares it against previous runs, and outputs clean diffs that can trigger Slack alerts or database updates.

Map local deposit concentrations from the command line

The `list_sod` tool extracts branch-level deposit numbers directly into your command line. By calling `list_sod` and `list_locations`, the CLI agent grabs deposit totals and physical coordinates for any bank. It formats the output as clean JSON or CSV for easy piping into command-line utilities like grep or jq. This lets you build lightweight, localized data pipelines. Claude Code queries `list_demographics` to layer regional economic metrics over the deposit data, giving you a complete command-line analytical tool.
