Monitor proxy bandwidth in Claude Desktop

Tracking your data limits shouldn't require logging into a web dashboard every hour. You ask your local agent to check your current usage, and it pulls the exact numbers. Running `get_traffic_usage` returns your exact bandwidth consumption across different zones. If a specific project is burning through gigabytes, you spot it immediately in your chat window.

Audit sub-user configurations

Managing access across a large team gets messy fast. This MCP integration lets your agent pull a complete roster of who has access to what proxy endpoints. By calling `list_sub_users`, the system fetches every active credential. You immediately see which accounts are active and which ones need to be rotated or disabled.

Fetch residential proxy assignments

Rotating IPs for web scraping requires knowing exactly which endpoints are currently active. Connecting this MCP Server means you just tell your agent to grab the current list of available nodes. The `list_residential_proxies` tool pulls your active residential configurations, while `list_datacenter_proxies` handles your static IPs. This data dumps straight into your conversation context so you can debug connection failures.
