Clay is useful for agents because it gives them a structured way to run GTM work. Instead of asking an agent to scrape, guess, or call many providers directly, expose Clay functions as routines and return predictable JSON. ## Good agent tasks * Run a Clay function on a company domain and summarize the structured output. * Enrich a list of accounts from a JSON file. * Search for companies or people, then pass results into another workflow. * Trigger repeatable research or scoring logic from a local terminal. * Use MCP to call Clay functions from ChatGPT or another MCP client. ## Start with the CLI The CLI is the fastest path for most agent workflows because it handles authentication locally and returns JSON that agents can inspect. Authenticate, list routines, and run your first Clay routine.
