Dot CLI and agent skill

Query your company's data from the terminal, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Gemini CLI with Dot (getdot.ai), the AI data analyst.

Ask a question in plain English. Dot finds the right tables, writes and runs SQL on your own warehouse, and answers with the result, the SQL it ran, and charts. It applies the same permissions as your Dot workspace.

Install

macOS and Linux:

curl https://app.getdot.ai/install | sh    # US region
curl https://eu.getdot.ai/install | sh     # EU region

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://app.getdot.ai/install.ps1 | iex    # US region
irm https://eu.getdot.ai/install.ps1 | iex     # EU region

The installer downloads the current dot binary from your Dot server and adds the Dot skill (SKILL.md in this repository) to the AI coding agents it finds. Then sign in:

dot login

Don't have a workspace yet? Start free: 300 credits, no credit card.

Ask questions

dot "What were total sales last month?"
dot "Break down by region" --chat <chat-id>
dot catalog

Each answer prints the explanation, the SQL query, a data preview and a link to the full analysis in Dot. Charts and CSV files are saved locally, so your coding agent can read them.

Manage your workspace

dot notes list          # business context Dot uses to answer
dot tables list         # tables Dot can query
dot env list            # environments for testing changes before Production
dot apps pull <id>      # data apps as code
dot eval run suite.json # check answers against trusted numbers, for example in CI

Run dot --help for every command.

Use Dot from AI agents

Agent skill. The installer adds it for you. To add it by hand:

npx skills add https://github.com/Snowboard-Software/getdot

Remote MCP server. Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client to:

  • US: https://app.getdot.ai/ai/mcp
  • EU: https://eu.getdot.ai/ai/mcp

ChatGPT has its own URL: https://app.getdot.ai/chatgpt/mcp (EU: https://eu.getdot.ai/chatgpt/mcp).

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Windsurf sign in with OAuth. Clients without OAuth send an MCP token in the X-API-KEY header. To get one, open your Profile in Dot, go to Use Dot elsewhere > MCP, open Client can't do OAuth? Use an API token and click Generate token. Setup for each client: MCP docs. The server is listed in the MCP Registry as io.github.zurferr/dot.

CI and headless servers

Set the token through your CI secret store and choose the regional server:

export DOT_API_BASE_URL="https://app.getdot.ai"
export DOT_API_TOKEN="YOUR_API_TOKEN"

See Evaluations in CI.

This repository holds the agent skill and an early version of the CLI source. The installer always fetches the current CLI binary from your Dot server.
