How to Use the Heybox MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the Heybox MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http heybox-mcp -- . Make sure you put the transport and scope flags before the server name.

Q: How do I list discounted Steam games using Heybox and Claude Code?

Just ask the CLI to find current sales. It executes listdiscountgames and prints the raw data or a formatted list right to your terminal.

Q: Can I pipe Heybox community posts into another tool?

You can. Have Claude Code run listcommunityposts and output the results as JSON. Pipe that stdout directly into jq or your database ingestion script.

Pipe Heybox data directly into your terminal. Let Claude Code run market price cron jobs and track game stats from the command line.

Perplexity

Headless Heybox MCP Server

You live in the terminal. Now your Heybox data does too. Claude Code runs completely headless, meaning you can trigger `get_user_stats` from a shell script or a CI/CD pipeline. Need to audit a player's recent matches before allowing them into a tournament bracket? Run a script that tells Claude Code to pull `get_match_history`. It grabs the data, evaluates the stats, and outputs a simple boolean result to standard out.

Script Market Price Alerts

Stop manually checking skin values. You can set up a cron job where Claude Code calls `get_market_prices` every hour. It checks the current CS2 or PUBG skin rates against your target thresholds. If the price drops, it pipes a notification to your Slack channel. If you want to track broader platform health, it can run `get_heybox_app_status` to ensure the API is actually responding before running the pricing logic.

Extract Community Data via CLI

Sometimes you just need raw text for a dataset pulled from the MCP. Claude Code can iterate through `list_community_posts` to find specific keywords across the Heybox boards. It then uses `get_post_detail` to dump the full discussion text into a local JSON file. Add `list_game_news` to the script, and you have an automated data pipeline fetching daily gaming context without ever opening a browser.
