Quick Start

# Initialize a new project
daita init my-project

# Test locally before deploying
daita test

# Deploy to the cloud
daita push

# Run an agent remotely
daita run my-agent --data-json '{"input": "hello"}'

# Follow execution in real-time
daita run my-agent --follow

# Re-run a past execution and compare outcomes
daita replay <execution_id>
daita diff <execution_a> <execution_b>

# Diagnose setup issues
daita doctor

MCP Server

daita-cli ships a full Model Context Protocol server with 35 tools, letting coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) interact with your Daita platform directly. Tools stream MCP progress notifications during long runs and return structured JSON that coding agents can act on without parsing terminal output.

Start the server

daita mcp-server

Configure in Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "daita": {
      "command": "daita",
      "args": ["mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DAITA_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}
