Perplexity

Claude Code automates extraction via CLI

Pipe your extraction jobs into your CI/CD pipeline using `run_extractor`. Claude Code handles the async wait and returns the final JSON output to stdout. This is built for terminal workflows. You can script the entire process from triggering the job to saving the results to a local file.

Monitor bulk crawls with this MCP Server

Use `start_crawl` to initiate large jobs. Claude Code checks the status via `get_crawl_status` at intervals you define in your script. It keeps the terminal clean while waiting for long-running jobs. Once finished, it fetches the data with `get_crawl_data` and exits with the result.

Audit account usage in Claude Code

Track your API consumption with `account_usage`. This is useful for cron jobs that need to verify credit availability before starting a heavy crawl. It returns simple, parseable metrics. You can easily feed this into your logging system or fail the build if you are low on credits.
