Run Headless Referral Audits via Claude Code

This Friendbuy MCP Server lets Claude Code audit your referral programs from the command line. Claude Code runs `list_referral_rewards` to export recent referral payouts directly to your terminal. You can pipe this output to local scripts or grep for specific users. It is designed for terminal-heavy workflows that require quick, headless access to reward data.

Script Conversion Tracking in CI/CD Pipelines

This conversion tracking integration lets Claude Code trigger events from shell scripts. Claude Code uses `track_conversion_signup` to log test signups during your automated deployment checks. It also calls `track_conversion_purchase` to verify that purchase tracking is fully operational before a release goes live. This ensures your marketing attribution never breaks during updates.

Manage Webhooks and API Health from the CLI

This Friendbuy MCP Server gives Claude Code the ability to inspect your webhook configurations. Claude Code executes `list_webhooks` to quickly dump your active webhook endpoints to stdout. If you suspect an API outage, it runs `check_api_connection` to verify connectivity. It gives you instant diagnostics without needing to open a browser or log into a dashboard.
