Execute Qdrant search in the terminal

Claude Code uses `search` to perform vector similarity lookups directly from your shell. It is built for CI/CD pipelines where you need fast, automated data retrieval. Use `get_points` to pull raw data by ID for debugging scripts. It returns the exact payload you need for verification.

Terminal-based collection management

Call `list_collections` to verify your database state in a script. It is the standard way to ensure your environment is ready before a deployment. Use `get_collection` to output the configuration of an index to your terminal. It helps you monitor your setup without a GUI.

Batch processing with Qdrant scroll

The `scroll` tool is designed for headless iteration over your collections. It returns data points that you can pipe into other CLI tools or processing scripts. Check your progress with `count`. It provides a simple integer output that fits perfectly into your shell monitoring loops.
