Perplexity

Audit Messaging Templates from Terminal

Run template audits right from your shell script. Use `list_message_templates` to generate a list of all available templates, and then use `delete_message_template` if a cleanup job needs to run. You can pipe the output of these commands into other tools for logging or reporting purposes.

Retrieve WABA Details in Headless Environments

Need account status without a GUI? Use `get_waba_details` to pull all required parameters. The system also lets you check available numbers using `list_phone_numbers`, which is critical for reliable background jobs. Claude Code executes this server logic perfectly within Docker containers or CI runners.

Schedule Messaging Jobs with MCP Server

Set up automated message sending. You can use `send_template_message` to send structured updates, or `send_text_message` for simple notifications. For pre-checks, run `get_business_profile`. This ensures that the data payload you're sending has all necessary fields filled out.
