Headless Katana automation for Claude Code

Run `create_sales_order` from your terminal to push orders into your ERP. This works in any CI/CD pipeline or shell script without a GUI. It outputs clean data that you can pipe into other system tools. Use it to automate your order entry during high-volume periods.

Terminal-based inventory management

Fetch stock status using `list_inventory` directly in your shell. You can pipe the results into a file or parse them with standard CLI utilities. Use `get_inventory_by_variant` to get precise numbers for your deployment scripts. It provides the exact payload needed for your inventory reporting.

Streamline production logs

Monitor your shop floor by running `list_manufacturing_orders` via the CLI. It gives you immediate visibility into production status without needing a browser. Combine this with `list_materials` to trigger alerts in your terminal when stock drops. The server provides the data, and your scripts take the action.
