# metabase-cli
The official Metabase CLI (`mb`) drives a Metabase instance over its REST API.
Install: `npm i -g @metabase/cli`
## Start here
Before running any `mb` command, load the workflow content from the CLI:
```bash
mb skills get core # auth, flag conventions, every command group
mb skills list # every bundled skill the profile's server can use (--unfiltered for all of them)
```
**Doing a whole job, not one command?** If the user wants an outcome — "make sense of my data", "build a data model", "go from raw data to a dashboard", "answer questions about my data", "be my data analyst", "set up analytics for X" — load the guided end-to-end skill instead and let it drive:
```bash
mb skills get data-workflow
```
