Perplexity

Headless case law queries

Use `search_legal_cases` via CLI to pull relevant case summaries into your terminal. It outputs clean data for your shell scripts or CI pipelines. You skip the browser entirely. The server delivers the text you need to pipe into your own formatting tools.

Statutory lookup via Claude Code

The `get_state_statutes` tool fetches legislative text directly to your prompt. You can grep the output or save it to a file for later processing. This gives you raw access to the law. It fits perfectly into automated routines where you need current statutes for quick reference.

Automated research pipelines

Claude Code links these tools to your existing shell commands. You can automate the gathering of legal evidence as part of a larger build process. It handles the connection to the server and returns the data to standard output. You control exactly how the information flows through your terminal.
