Perplexity

Claude Code tracks UX from the CLI

Use `list_sites` to verify which domains are active in your pipeline. Claude Code pipes this data directly into your shell, allowing for quick checks during deployment. It can also execute `check_hotjar_status` to ensure your monitoring is live. This keeps your CI/CD process aware of any tracking failures.

Headless session reporting

Configure a cron job to run `list_recordings` via Claude Code. It captures the latest session data and saves it to a local log file for your review. You can pipe the output of `get_recording` into your build scripts. This allows you to block deploys if specific error thresholds are reached in user sessions.

Analyze feedback in your terminal

Query `list_feedback_responses` to pull recent user comments into your logs. Claude Code filters these responses based on your criteria. It then generates a summary of the top issues using `get_survey_stats`. You get an actionable report without ever leaving your terminal environment.
