Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers ChangeDetection.io as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 14 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where ChangeDetection.io data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using ChangeDetection.io tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Can I see exactly what text changed on a page between the last two checks?
Yes! Use the get_snapshot_diff tool with the watch UUID. It will return the specific differences between the current state and the previous snapshot.
How do I trigger an immediate recheck of a specific website?
You can use the get_watch tool and set the recheck parameter to '1'. This forces the server to fetch the latest version of the page immediately.
Can I filter my monitors by tags using the AI?
Absolutely. When using list_watches, you can provide a tag name to filter the results and only see monitors associated with that specific category.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
