Clean email lists from your command line
The `verify_email` tool validates the deliverability of any address directly inside your terminal session. You can pipe raw text files or CSVs directly into the tool, getting instant status updates without loading a heavy web interface. This command-line approach lets you build fast validation steps into your deployment scripts. The MCP Server processes each address instantly, keeping your pipelines moving without delay.
Automate prospect searches in Claude Code
The `search_prospects` tool queries your target database using custom filters directly from the shell. You specify the filters, and the CLI agent returns structured JSON containing matching leads. From there, the agent can run `find_email` on the results to locate missing contact details. It chains these commands together, outputting clean, actionable lead lists ready for your sales team.
Track outbound performance from the terminal
The `list_campaigns` tool retrieves your current active outreach metrics with a single terminal command. You can monitor open rates and response metrics without leaving your SSH session. To keep costs under control, the agent uses `get_credits` to check your remaining balance before executing heavy scripts. It gives you immediate visibility into your API spending directly from stdout.
