Build terminal-based gate alerts in Claude Code

This command-line MCP Server feeds live entry data directly into your Claude Code terminal pipelines. When you are managing backend infrastructure for a massive festival, you do not want to open a browser to check entry speeds. Use Claude Code to query `list_scans` and pipe the raw JSON directly into your terminal tools. You can build a shell script that monitors gate throughput with Claude Code. By calling `get_scan_stats`, the agent checks if scan rates drop below expected thresholds, letting you trigger PagerDuty alerts if a gate router goes offline.

Automate webhook monitoring with this MCP Server

This Hipsy integration allows your CLI agent to audit active event webhooks inside Claude Code. Broken webhooks mean lost ticket sales notifications. Use Claude Code to audit your event integrations. The CLI agent queries `list_webhooks` to inspect your active endpoints and verify they are pointing to the correct ingest servers. If an endpoint is failing, Claude Code can cross-reference the issue with `check_hipsy_status` to determine if the platform itself is experiencing downtime, saving you hours of manual curl commands.

Script automated night-end financial exports

This Hipsy MCP Server utility lets you automate post-event financial exports from the Claude Code shell. Stop manually exporting CSVs after every party. Tell Claude Code to run a cron job that pulls final sales figures. The CLI agent queries `list_past_events` to target the right date and extracts the cash flow via `get_event_revenue`. Claude Code formats the output, pipes it to your local database, and logs the results. It uses `list_orders_by_event` to verify individual transactions, keeping your backend records perfectly in sync with your ticketing provider.

Run `claude mcp add --transport http hipsy-mcp -- ` in your terminal. This registers the configuration in your local `~/.claude.json` file.

Yes. You can ask the agent to search for a specific transaction by passing the ID to `get_order`, letting you debug ticket delivery issues right from your shell.

You can have the agent run `check_hipsy_status` directly from the command line to verify the connection before executing long-running data sync scripts.
