Perplexity

Query folk Contacts from the CLI

This MCP Server brings your entire relationship database into the terminal. Claude Code uses `list_groups` and `list_contacts` to filter your sales or recruiting pipelines without opening a browser. Just type a natural language prompt asking for the latest partnership leads. The agent hits the API, parses the JSON, and prints exactly who you need to email right in your shell.

Script the folk MCP Server

Running headless CRM updates is where the `create_contact` tool shines. Pipe a sanitized log file into Claude Code and instruct it to generate new records for every unique email address it finds. The agent handles the schema validation and API calls automatically. This makes it trivial to wire up a nightly cron job that syncs your application database directly to your sales team's workspace.

Audit Touchpoints and Notes Fast

Digging into an account's history takes seconds when Claude Code chains `get_contact_details` with `list_interactions`. The agent grabs the exact profile and dumps the timeline of touchpoints to your standard output. If you need more context, it runs `list_contact_notes` to pull the raw text from previous meetings. You get the full story on any client while staying entirely within your SSH session.

Yes. Configure a headless pipeline that uses `create_contact` to log new signups directly into your CRM during a deployment step.

Just tell the CLI agent to search by a specific segment. It will run `list_groups` to find the ID, then pass that into `list_contacts`.

You probably queried a contact that only has notes, not logged interactions. Tell the agent to run `list_contact_notes` instead to see the manual entries.

Your raw phone numbers and meeting notes flow through a V8 Isolate Sandbox directly to your terminal. The CLI drops all memory of the query the moment the process exits.
