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:

mb skills get core    # auth, flag conventions, every command group
mb skills list        # everything available on the installed version

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:

core

metabase/metabase-cli

Foundations for driving Metabase from the terminal with the `mb` CLI — authentication and named profiles, the flag/output/`--json` conventions every command shares, JSON body input, command discovery via `--help` (add `--json` for machine-readable schemas), and the per-resource footguns (db, table, field, upload, card, dashboard, collection, segment, measure, timeline, library, setting, search, eid). Load first for any `mb` task; it routes to the specialized skills for deeper work.

git-sync

metabase/metabase-cli

Round-trip Metabase content (cards, dashboards, transforms, snippets, collections, Library-published table/field metadata) between an instance and a git remote via `mb git-sync …` — status, dirty / has-remote-changes checks, import, export (with branch guard), branches, stash, add/remove a collection from sync. Load when the user wants to "import the latest changes", "export to git", "push my changes to the repo", "open a PR with my Metabase changes", "git sync", "dirty check", "stash before pulling", "add a collection to sync", or anything `mb git-sync …`.

visualization

metabase/metabase-cli

Choose a card's `display` (chart type) and author its `visualization_settings` for the `mb` CLI — which chart fits which data shape, the required keys per chart, the rule that settings name OUTPUT columns, and the `column_settings` JSON-string-key footgun; the full per-chart key catalog is in references. Use when deciding or fixing how a card renders — "what chart should I use", "make this a bar/line/pie chart", "map this by state", "format this column as currency", "add conditional formatting", "the card renders as a table instead of a chart", or any `display` / `visualization_settings` work.

data-workflow

metabase/metabase-cli

Guided, end-to-end data work through the `mb` CLI — investigate a raw database, build clean analysis-ready tables, define reusable segments/measures/metrics, answer questions, and build dashboards. Detects where the data is, holds the shared conventions for collaborating with a human on data work, and carries the deep per-stage method in references. Use when the user states a data goal rather than a single command — "make sense of my data", "build a data model", "go from raw data to a dashboard", "be my data analyst", "set up analytics for X", "define active customers / MRR officially", "make this reusable", "who registered / what did people say".

dashboard

metabase/metabase-cli

Build Metabase dashboards via the `mb` CLI — lay out dashcards on the 24-column grid (`{col,row,size_x,size_y}` math, per-chart default sizes) and turn cards into a filterable, cross-linked app. Covers wiring filters to cards (parameters + parameter_mappings), the field-filter vs. raw-variable target grammar, linked/cascading filters and their foreign-key requirement, cross-filtering, click-through, multi-series overlays, and tabs. The parameter type enum and whole-array replace semantics live in `core`. Triggers — "build a dashboard from these cards", "my dashboard is squished into half the width", "wire a filter to these cards", "make a filter cascade", "click a bar to filter the other charts", "add a dashboard tab", "add a second series", "why isn't my filter showing".

add-e2e-test

metabase/metabase-cli

Add an end-to-end test that drives the built CLI against a real Metabase via docker compose. Use whenever the user asks to "add an e2e test for `<command>`", "wire `<noun> <verb>` into tests/e2e", "cover the new command end-to-end", or anything that creates a file under `tests/e2e/`. Loading this skill is mandatory before generating any `tests/e2e/**/*.e2e.test.ts` file or modifying the e2e harness — the runtime contract is strict and easy to violate.
