Track terminal events using Claude Code

`track_event` logs build statuses, deployment updates, or shell script outputs directly to OpenPanel from your terminal. This lets you monitor system health and deployment success rates without setting up external webhooks. Your agent runs the command, catches the exit code, and updates your metrics. Piping command outputs into the tracking tool lets you build custom monitoring setups. You can track deployment speeds or test failures directly from your CI/CD pipelines.

Manage server and user profiles

`identify_user` registers system profiles or user accounts in your analytics dashboard. The agent uses this tool to map terminal actions to specific developers or server instances. This helps you track which environments are running specific scripts. You can attach custom traits like node versions or OS types to the profile. The agent updates these details in the background, keeping your environment tracking clean.

Update system counters from the command line

`increment_property` updates numeric values on profiles to monitor build counts or error frequencies. This MCP server lets you change these values without writing custom database scripts. Your agent increases the count whenever a cron job finishes. You can also call `decrement_property` to reduce active job counts or resource usage metrics. It gives you a simple way to manage state across distributed terminal sessions.
