Command-Line Chat Routing with Claude Code

Claude Code brings your customer support queue directly to your terminal. Backend engineers can quickly query active threads using `list_chats` and reassign stuck conversations on the fly using `assign_chat` without opening a browser. This command-line workflow is perfect for fast triage. You pipe terminal outputs, search for specific customer issues, and update the owner of the thread using simple, direct prompts in your shell session.

Headless WhatsApp Dispatch and Template Audits

Automating customer notifications from a bash script or cron job is straightforward with this MCP Server. Claude Code queries your approved layouts using `list_templates` and fetches the required variables with `get_template` before sending. Once verified, the CLI agent dispatches the WhatsApp notification using `send_message`. You can easily run this inside an SSH session or CI pipeline to alert users when their builds finish or when system events occur.

Terminal-Based Contact and Webhook Sync

Manage your customer database and integration endpoints without leaving your shell. This MCP Server lets Claude Code use `list_contacts` to search your customer directory and can instantly spin up new entries using `create_contact` based on raw terminal inputs. It also allows you to audit your delivery pipelines by running `list_webhooks`. This gives you immediate visibility into where your message delivery receipts are being sent, making debugging incredibly fast.
