Control Mailshake MCP Server Directly From the CLI

Stop clicking around browser tabs to manage your cold email campaigns. Claude Code lets you run `list_campaigns` directly from your terminal and pipe the output into grep or jq to filter your active sequences. When a campaign needs to stop immediately, a single CLI command triggers `pause_campaign` or `resume_campaign` to control your outreach flow without opening a GUI.

Headless Prospect Ingest Pipelines

Automate your lead loading by piping local CSV data straight into your active campaigns. Claude Code parses your terminal inputs and runs `add_prospects` to queue up your next outreach batch. If you need to instantly halt emails for a specific user, passing their email to the CLI executes `pause_prospect` in milliseconds.

CLI Lead Pipeline Auditing

Audit your sales funnel without leaving your SSH session. The CLI tool pulls your qualified opportunities using `list_sales_leads` and formats the results into a clean terminal table. You can quickly update a lead's position in the funnel by running `update_lead_status` right after checking their activity with `list_engagement_activity`.
