Run Hexomatic workflows from your terminal

The `run_workflow` tool allows Claude Code to execute any scraping job directly from the command line interface. You can pipe a list of URLs from a local text file straight into the agent to trigger bulk processing. This headless execution is perfect for shell scripts and terminal-based setups. You get full control over your scraping pipeline without ever opening a web browser.

Monitor API credit usage via Claude Code

The `get_account_usage` tool checks your remaining automation credits and current plan limits directly from the shell. Your agent can run this check before launching large-scale scraping jobs to prevent unexpected failures. It keeps your terminal-based automation loops safe from billing overages. You can easily build cron jobs that halt if your credit balance drops below a specific threshold.

Search your scrapers using this MCP Server

The `search_workflows` tool queries your entire workflow library using text-based filters directly from the terminal prompt. Claude Code quickly finds the exact workflow ID you need based on your search query. Combining this with `list_workflows` gives you a quick, terminal-friendly view of your active pipelines. You do not have to hunt down IDs or leave your terminal window to manage your configurations.
