Terminal-Driven Build Triggers

The `trigger_site_build` tool starts a new production deployment directly from your command line. Claude Code calls this tool and then pipes the output to monitor the build status. You can script this action inside your terminal workflow. It eliminates the need to open a web browser just to kick off a build or verify that a deployment has started.

Command-Line Site Audits

The `list_sites` tool prints a clean list of all your active web projects, and `get_site_details` fetches specific domain and status information. Claude Code presents this data directly in your shell. You can ask the CLI agent to check your production domains or verify site configurations. It retrieves the details instantly, keeping your hands on the keyboard.

Deploy History Pipelines

The `list_deploys` tool fetches all previous deployments, and `get_deploy_details` retrieves granular details about specific builds. Claude Code uses this to audit your release history. This is useful for terminal-based post-mortems. When a deployment goes wrong, the CLI agent quickly finds the failed build ID and displays the error logs directly in your terminal.
