Command-line campaign control with Claude Code

Using `list_outreach_campaigns` via the MCP Server prints a clean text readout of your active outreach efforts directly to your terminal. Stop clicking through browser tabs to check on your sales sequences. If a sequence is underperforming, you can immediately execute `pause_outreach_campaign` directly from your prompt. Fast, lightweight control is built directly into your terminal prompt.

Pipe lead data directly into Mailshake

Executing `add_prospects_to_campaign` via this MCP Server lets Claude Code read your standard input and load contacts straight into your outreach sequences. You can feed local CSV files or database queries straight into your campaign. This terminal-first approach makes it easy to script your lead operations. You can combine it with cron jobs or local shell scripts to automate your daily list updates.

Quick lead lookups from your terminal

Calling `get_lead_history` displays the prospect's entire interaction timeline directly in your terminal session. When you need to check why a prospect stopped responding, don't open a heavy web app. The raw text dumps directly into your terminal so you can pipe it to other command-line utilities using `get_message_content`.
