Combining Tools

You can ask complex questions that use multiple tools:
“I’m spending more than usual this week. Can you check for anomalies and show me which project is driving the increase?”
Claude will:
  1. Run anomaly detection
  2. Get usage by project tag
  3. Analyze and explain the results
The MCP server returns data in markdown format by default, making it easy for Claude to present nicely formatted tables and summaries.
