Audit marketing campaigns from your terminal CLI

`list_campaigns` outputs raw campaign arrays directly into your terminal session so you can pipe, grep, and filter Marketo data using standard bash commands. Claude Code executes the tool, parses the JSON, and lets you query specific Marketo metrics without opening a browser. This headless Claude Code approach is ideal for running quick diagnostic checks on Marketo assets. You can quickly run `get_campaign_by_id` to inspect a failing Marketo workflow and instantly see the configuration payload right in your terminal.

Run headless lead lookups via the Claude Code MCP Server

`get_lead_by_email` retrieves individual prospect records directly inside your Claude Code terminal session. Claude Code processes the email query, extracts the Marketo lead ID, and lets you chain terminal commands to inspect their status. By integrating this Marketo tool into your Claude Code workflow, you avoid the overhead of heavy web UIs. You get immediate access to raw Marketo lead records, making terminal-based debugging incredibly fast.

Build shell-based audits of static lists and programs

`list_static_lists` retrieves your target market segments directly into your shell environment so Claude Code can audit them for stale data. The Claude Code agent can take these lists and cross-reference them with active marketing programs using `list_programs`. This allows developers using Claude Code to write shell scripts that monitor Marketo program health. You get a scriptable interface to Marketo's core database directly from your local command line.

Common questions about Marketo MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http marketo-mcp -- ` in your terminal. This adds the MCP configuration directly to your `~/.claude.json` file.

Yes, Claude Code can execute `list_leads_by_list` and output clean JSON that you can pipe to utilities like jq or custom shell scripts. This makes terminal-based data wrangling straightforward.

The CLI execution runs through Vinkius's high-speed infrastructure, which handles rate-limiting headers gracefully. If `list_activities` returns a massive payload, Claude Code processes it incrementally to avoid terminal lag.

Yes, running `get_smart_campaign_by_id` inside Claude Code pulls the full JSON configuration of any smart campaign. You can ask the CLI agent to find specific triggers or filters in that payload.

Vinkius uses an ephemeral runtime where campaign data fetched via `list_campaigns` is never cached or logged. All credentials are encrypted in transit and handled by one-way secure tokens.
