Automate Liftoff data retrieval with Claude Code

You run `list_liftoff_apps` to verify your account connection in the terminal. It returns the list of applications so you can filter by ID. This is built for headless operation. You can chain these calls into your existing bash scripts or CI/CD pipelines.

Schedule reports with this MCP Server

The `request_performance_report` tool allows you to trigger data generation programmatically. You define the start and end dates in your command. Claude Code watches the process with `get_report_status`. It exits or continues based on the status returned by the API.

Export performance metrics to your CLI

You use `download_report_results` to stream the data into a local file. It’s perfect for feeding into jq or other command-line tools. `get_spend_metrics` gives you a quick JSON output of your current spend. You get the numbers you need without a browser.
