Perplexity

Pipe Modrinth data into terminal scripts.

Run Claude Code to query the registry without opening a browser. The tool runs `search_projects` directly from your command line, letting you pipe the JSON output into other CLI tools or jq. You can quickly inspect specific files using `get_project` to dump metadata straight to stdout. It is built for developers who want to manage their server files without leaving the shell.

Automate server build checks with this MCP Server.

Use this MCP Server to write shell scripts that validate server dependencies before deployment. Claude Code queries `get_project_dependencies` to ensure your server files aren't missing critical libraries. It fetches the exact build details via `get_version` and `list_versions` to verify your server matches the upstream files. If a file is missing, the script catches it before boot.

Monitor publisher profiles from the CLI.

Audit your server plugins directly from your terminal sessions. Claude Code uses `get_user_profile` and `list_user_projects` to check the publishing history of any developer. It can also run `search_users` to track down specific contributors. This lets you quickly verify the source of a plugin before running it on your production server.
