Perplexity

Run terminal audits using this MCP Server

Claude Code queries `list_users` and `list_people` directly from your bash prompt. You can pipe the outputs into grep, jq, or local scripts to audit access logs and verify who has active platform accounts. This headless execution makes security audits fast and simple. There is no GUI to navigate; you get clean JSON or text output right in your terminal buffer.

Export remuneration and job data to CSV

Use Claude Code to run `list_remuneration` and `list_jobs`, then pipe that data into a local CSV file. The terminal agent handles the extraction and formatting without you needing to write custom Python scripts. It is perfect for quick data dumps before payroll processing. You get the exact fields you need using standard terminal commands.

Track office locations and entities via CLI

Query `list_locations` and `list_business_entities` directly through Claude Code to verify regional offices. This allows SREs and system administrators to quickly map server access policies to physical office locations. You can script these checks to run during routine maintenance. The agent fetches the directory setup and outputs the raw data directly to your terminal.
