Script image searches with Claude Code

Pipe the output of `search_images` into your shell scripts to automate imagery collection. It works headless in your CI/CD pipelines. Use `get_image` to fetch technical metadata for every result. This allows for programmatic filtering of images based on capture time or altitude.

Automate detection analysis for Claude Code

Run `get_image_detections` to extract object data from your automated image fetches. It provides the raw JSON you need for your backend analysis. Pair this with `get_detection_value` to isolate specific infrastructure details. It works perfectly for parsing road object types and coordinates.

Access map features via Claude Code

Query `get_map_features` to build a database of traffic signs and road assets. It gives you raw spatial data for your infrastructure projects. Execute `search_sequences` to maintain a log of coverage over time. It keeps your pipeline updated with the latest sequence IDs.
