Headless SMS lead pipeline in Claude Code

Claude Code uses `create_lead` to spin up SMS qualification sequences directly from your command line. The terminal agent connects to the server and initiates the text conversation without a GUI. You can feed a CSV of contacts to Claude Code and let it handle the SMS outreach in the background. It executes each command headlessly for clean pipeline automation.

Bulk activity monitoring with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_activities` to pipe recent SMS events straight into your terminal stream. You can grep, filter, or redirect this output to other command-line tools. It makes debugging your SMS funnels incredibly fast. You see exactly which prospects replied and how the playbooks responded without opening a dashboard.

CLI-driven playbook execution

Claude Code uses `stop_playbook` to kill active SMS outreach campaigns when a prospect opts out or books a call. You run one command, and the agent executes the stop sequence instantly. You can also query `get_lead` to inspect a specific contact's status. The agent displays their details and text history in clean, readable terminal output.
