Audit Campaigns from the Terminal

The `get_campaign_details` tool fetches campaign progress, funding percentages, and active statuses directly to your shell. Claude Code runs this tool headlessly, allowing you to pipe the raw JSON output to utilities like `jq` or local log files. This is built for DevOps engineers and backend developers who need quick stats without opening a web browser. You run a single command, get the raw campaign data via MCP, and pass it to your deployment or monitoring scripts.

Query Crowdfunding Data with MCP

The `search_indiegogo_campaigns` tool scans the platform for active projects using terminal-friendly query arguments. Your CLI agent uses this tool to build automated search pipelines, filtering results by categories or keywords. It eliminates manual search processes. You can set up cron jobs that query the server daily, track new listings in your industry, and append the results to a running database.

Verify API Status in Shell

The `check_api_status` tool queries the platform's developer gateway to verify that the endpoints are responding. Claude Code runs this check instantly to confirm that your automated scripts won't fail due to external downtime. It provides a fast health check before running resource-intensive queries. You get a clean binary response, making it simple to integrate into shell scripts and CI/CD pipelines.
