Dot (getdot.ai): AI Data Analyst

Dot CLI and agent skill

Query your company's data from Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI or the terminal 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

Ask questions

dot "What were total sales last month?"

dot "Break down by region" --chat 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 # 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

Claude

Open your Dot profile and click Add to Claude. Or add it by hand: in Claude, go to Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://app.getdot.ai/ai/mcp. This works on claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Cowork.

Claude Code

claude plugin install dot --marketplace Snowboard-Software/getdot

The plugin bundles Dot's MCP connector and the Dot skill. Run /mcp in a session to sign in. On Claude Code before 2.1.292, run claude plugin marketplace add Snowboard-Software/getdot, then claude plugin install dot@getdot.

Already added Dot in Claude? Claude Code picks up that connector when you sign in with your Claude account. The plugin uses the same server, so you see one set of Dot tools.

Codex

codex mcp add dot --url https://app.getdot.ai/ai/mcp

Codex opens your browser to sign in. The ChatGPT desktop app and the IDE extension read the same configuration.

Or install the plugin, which also adds the Dot skill:

codex plugin marketplace add Snowboard-Software/getdot

codex plugin add dot@getdot codex mcp login dot

Other agents

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

This adds the Dot skill to Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents. The CLI installer above adds it too.

Connect Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client to https://app.getdot.ai/ai/mcp. ChatGPT has its own URL: https://app.getdot.ai/chatgpt/mcp.

EU workspaces

The plugins connect to the US server. For a workspace on eu.getdot.ai, add the EU server directly:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user dot https://eu.getdot.ai/ai/mcp

codex mcp add dot --url https://eu.getdot.ai/ai/mcp

In Claude, use Add to Claude on your EU profile, or paste https://eu.getdot.ai/ai/mcp. ChatGPT: https://eu.getdot.ai/chatgpt/mcp. Add the skill with npx skills add above.

Clients without OAuth

Claude, Codex, 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 Dot plugin for Claude Code and Codex (plugins/dot), the agent skill and an early version of the CLI source. The installer always fetches the current CLI binary from your Dot server.

Maintainers: bump version in plugins/dot/.claude-plugin/plugin.json with every change to the plugin, or installed copies keep the old one.
