Run terminal-based audits with Claude Code

Running terminal-based audits with Claude Code lets you process merchant statements directly from the command line. Ditch the web browser entirely. With Claude Code, you can trigger a full merchant audit with a single command. The tool uses `upload_statement` to send local PDF files directly to Fee Navigator and kicks off the processing immediately. Once uploaded, the agent monitors the job using `list_recent_activities`. You can pipe the terminal output to local files or other CLI tools, making it easy to script your entire auditing workflow.

Script automated proposals with this MCP Server

Scripting automated proposals is highly efficient when you run this command-line tool. Build automated cron jobs that check your pipeline every morning. This MCP Server lets Claude Code query `list_proposals` to identify new sales opportunities. The agent can extract key metrics using `get_proposal` and output them as raw JSON. You can feed this data directly into your CRM or billing systems. Because Claude Code runs entirely in the terminal, it integrates perfectly with bash scripts and custom deployment pipelines.

Audit merchant portfolios from the terminal

Auditing merchant portfolios from the terminal lets you manage your pipeline without a GUI. Manage your entire client list without clicking a single button. Claude Code uses `list_merchants` and `get_merchant` to fetch details on your active accounts. You can filter, sort, and query your portfolio using standard terminal commands. If you need to verify account limits or API keys, the agent calls `get_account_info` and `get_me` to display your current usage. It is the fastest way to check your processing limits without opening a dashboard.
