Perplexity

Run terminal-based donor pipelines with Claude Code

The `upsert_supporter_profile` tool lets you write or update donor records directly from your shell using this MCP setup. You can pipe a CSV of new signups into Claude Code, and it will parse the rows and update your records. You can chain this with `assign_supporters_to_group` to immediately organize these new profiles. This headless approach makes it easy to handle database updates without opening a web browser.

Fetch raw campaign metrics on the command line

The `get_engagement_metrics` tool retrieves your latest performance data directly inside your terminal session. You ask Claude Code for a quick summary of your active campaigns, and it will output clean, readable numbers. Because Claude Code runs entirely in the terminal, you can pipe these metrics into other CLI tools or save them to local reports. It parses `list_engagement_activities` alongside your metrics to give you a complete picture of your campaign success via this MCP Server.

Manage supporter groups via shell commands

The `list_supporter_groups` tool lets you search and inspect your existing donor categories from your shell. You can quickly find a specific group ID or check group membership details. If you need to update a group's details, Claude Code runs `upsert_supporter_group` using your terminal arguments. This allows backend developers to manage database structures without leaving their SSH session.
