Terminal-based Ko-fi tracking with Claude Code

Run `list_transactions` directly in your shell to fetch your latest Ko-fi data. It returns clean JSON that you can pipe into other CLI tools or save to a log file. This is for devs who live in the terminal. No browsers, no GUIs, just fast access to your transaction feed via your favorite command line agent.

Integrate the Ko-fi MCP Server into pipelines

Use the server to feed transaction data into your CI/CD scripts or local cron jobs. Claude Code acts as the bridge that fetches the data on demand. Automate your daily reporting by setting up a shell script that triggers `list_transactions`. It keeps your records synced without requiring manual oversight.

Headless Ko-fi monitoring for DevOps

Deploy the MCP Server in your headless environment to keep tabs on your Ko-fi revenue. Claude Code executes the queries and handles the data output for your monitoring scripts. It works perfectly in Docker containers or SSH sessions. You get the same reliable access to your transaction history wherever you run your code.
