Terminal-based Front MCP Server

Connect this server to your terminal to list shared inboxes with `list_shared_inboxes`. It pipes the output directly into your shell for easy parsing. Get metadata for any conversation using `get_conversation_details`. It is built for scripts that need to track status updates or team assignments.

Automate replies via Claude Code

Call `send_inbox_reply` from your CI/CD pipeline or a local shell script. It sends your message text to the right thread without a GUI. Use `list_conversation_messages` to fetch thread history for log analysis. This is ideal for automated reporting on support volume.

Search and monitor via Claude Code

Query your entire inbox from the command line using `search_conversations`. It returns results in a format you can pipe to other tools. Check your API health with `verify_api_status`. If the check fails, the server exits with a non-zero code, making it easy to integrate into your monitoring setup.
