Headless data operations for Claude Code

Integrate your spreadsheets into your CI/CD pipelines or shell scripts. Use `list_records` to pull data directly into your terminal output. It works without a browser or a GUI. You pipe the JSON output to other CLI tools to process your database records in real time.

Automated pipeline management

Run routine cleanup tasks using `delete_record` or `update_record` inside your cron jobs. The server handles the logic while you stay in the terminal. Use `get_project` to fetch metadata before running your scripts. It ensures your automation targets the correct environment every time.

Reliable MCP Server connectivity

Verify your pipeline health with `check_retable_status` before any batch operation. It returns a simple status code to confirm your connection is active. Everything is handled via standard transport protocols. It fits right into your existing `~/.claude.json` configuration.
