Command-line campaign control with Claude Code

The `list_campaigns` tool lets you inspect your entire cold email setup via MCP directly from your terminal session. You can filter active sequences, check status, and pipe the output to other terminal utilities. If a sequence needs to stop, the CLI agent runs `pause_campaign` instantly without requiring you to open a browser. This makes high-speed list management completely headless.

Scripted lead injection for CI/CD pipelines

The `add_leads` tool allows you to feed prospects into your campaigns via terminal scripts. You can pipe a local JSON file of verified leads directly into the CLI. To keep your sequences structured, the agent uses `list_subsequences` to identify the correct email steps. This allows you to script automated lead routing based on external database triggers.

Headless sender health monitoring

The `get_account_stats` tool provides a quick snapshot of your sending health directly in your shell. The agent aggregates bounce rates and warm-up status across your entire pool. By calling `list_accounts` through this MCP Server, the CLI agent maps out which domains are active. You can build cron jobs that query these endpoints daily to alert your team of any deliverability drops.
