Terminal-Driven Company and Asset Lookups with MCP Server

This server enables `list_companies` and `get_company` inside Claude Code to speed up CLI diagnostics. When troubleshooting a client network, you ask Claude Code to find the company details without leaving your SSH session. The agent runs the query, grabs the company ID, and passes it to `list_assets` to show you all registered devices. It is a command-line first way to map out an infrastructure on the fly.

Shell-Integrated Procedure Execution

The MCP Server exposes `get_procedure` and `list_procedures` to let Claude Code pull step-by-step guides directly into your shell. SREs can query the exact recovery playbook during an active outage. Claude Code parses the returned markdown and suggests the exact terminal commands needed to resolve the incident. You get rapid, documented recovery steps without opening a web browser.

Automated Credential Retrieval for Scripts

You can fetch secure credentials via `get_password` and `list_passwords` when running automation scripts in Claude Code. The agent retrieves the specific password details, pipes them into your deployment tool, and clears the terminal history. This allows headless DevOps pipelines to access Hudu passwords securely. It replaces clunky manual lookups with fast, terminal-native credential injections.
