Headless donation queries in Claude Code

Integrate `list_all_donations` into your shell scripts to pull data for automated analysis. Claude Code executes the tool and pipes the output to your next command. This is for developers who want to avoid the GUI. It works perfectly in Docker containers or remote SSH sessions.

Pipeline integration with GiveForms

Use `find_donations_by_email` within your deployment workflows to verify records before triggering downstream tasks. The agent acts on the data immediately. It removes the need for manual check-ins. Your pipeline stays fast and automated.

Monitor API health via CLI

Include `verify_api_connection` in your cron jobs or startup scripts. It returns a status code that you can use to gate your other operations. You'll know exactly when the service is down. It keeps your automation robust against API changes.
