The full story
The maker looks after a lot of Dell servers at work and dislikes Dell OME, so with Claude Code they built a native macOS Redfish client aimed at iDRAC9. It began when a new server cluster needed SNMP enabled on every machine, and Redfish, which is on from the factory, seemed the way to do it at scale.
They wrote a CLAUDE.md file, told Claude to "read CLAUDE.md and start work autonomously", then chatted with it for a few hours. They say it has been really productive once all their iDRAC servers were loaded in, and that they took care over how secrets are stored.
