Perplexity

Pipe IP Parking MCP Server metrics into command-line utilities

Claude Code brings your parking infrastructure directly into your terminal session. You can quickly run commands to extract active logs using `list_transactions` and pipe that data into local analysis tools. The Claude Code terminal agent handles the connection, letting you query site metrics with `get_site_status` without writing custom curl commands or managing API headers manually.

Control physical gates directly from your shell

When managing IP Parking hardware from a Claude Code SSH session, you need speed. This MCP Server lets you trigger physical relays using `control_gate` directly from a CLI prompt. You can quickly check if a lane is blocked by running `list_hardware` inside Claude Code and immediately issue a command to clear the obstruction. It removes the need for web-based administrative interfaces.

Automate terminal-based tariff management

Update parking rates across your entire network using simple shell commands. Claude Code can pull active rates with `list_tariffs` and push updates using `update_tariff` in seconds. This terminal-only workflow lets Claude Code run cron jobs or automated scripts that adjust IP Parking pricing based on scheduled events or external triggers.
