Headless queue monitoring with Claude Code

Plug your terminal into JSM using `list_queues`. This allows you to pipe support backlog data directly into your CI/CD scripts or local logs. Use `list_requests` to grab current ticket status for automated reports. It is the fastest way to verify if your service desk needs immediate intervention.

Deep inspection of JSM requests

Call `get_request` to pull raw ticket data into your terminal session. You get every custom field and participant detail for your diagnostic scripts. This is essential for SRE workflows where you need to parse ticket content programmatically. No GUI required to understand the issue.

Manage JSM metadata with Claude Code

Run `list_service_desks` to get your project inventory. You can store these IDs in environment variables to drive subsequent queries. Fetch `list_knowledge_bases` to help your scripts find relevant troubleshooting steps. Claude Code processes this data in real-time, letting you build custom support automation.
