What you can ask Claude

Once installed, just talk to Claude naturally.

Finding appointments:

• "Are there any open Global Entry slots near Chicago or Dallas?"
• "Find me the next available appointment at any Texas enrollment center"
• "Are there slots at Vancouver Canada locations?"

Setting up monitoring:

• "Set this up to text me whenever a slot opens at JFK or Newark"
• "Run the scanner in the background and notify me on Discord"
• "Monitor Houston for me and send an email if anything opens up"

Configuration help:

• "How do I configure Discord notifications?"
• "Walk me through the setup wizard"
• "What notification channels are available?"

MCP integration:

• "How do I hook up the MCP server to Claude Desktop?"
• "Start a background scan for the Austin enrollment center"

How it works

The skill guides Claude through three modes depending on what's available:

1. MCP mode — If the MCP server is running, Claude calls it directly to check appointments in real time
2. CLI mode — If the tool is installed but MCP isn't running, Claude runs CLI commands on your behalf
3. Setup mode — If the tool isn't installed yet, Claude walks you through installation and setup
