DataSecOps Framework CLI for Snowflake Native App

DataSecOps CLI

A command-line interface for the Data Engineers DataSecOps Native App on Snowflake. Streamlines dbt development, source control workflows, and framework configuration management for teams using the DataSecOps Framework.

What is this?

The DataSecOps CLI is the local developer companion to the Data Engineers DataSecOps Native App — a Snowflake Native App that provides governance, configuration management, and standardised development workflows for data teams.

This CLI connects to the native app and gives developers:

• dbt development commands — run, build, test, lint, and manage dbt projects via dbt Fusion
• Source control operations — branching, committing, rebasing, and deploying via GitPython with naming conventions enforced by the framework
• Configuration downloads — pull SQLFluff rules, CI/CD pipelines, dbt packages, and Cortex Code skills from the native app to your local project
• MCP server — expose framework governance rules to AI coding assistants (VS Code, Cursor, Cortex Code, Claude Code)

Installation

pip install datasecops-cli

With MCP server support:

pip install "datasecops-cli[mcp]"

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Prerequisites

• A Snowflake connection configured in ~/.snowflake/connections.toml
• The Data Engineers DataSecOps Native App installed in your Snowflake account
• A project profile created in the native app

Optional:

• dbt Fusion — required for dbt commands (dbtf). Install from https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/installation
• Cortex Code for skill downloads
• Node.js 18+ for GitHub/Azure DevOps MCP servers

Quick Start

1. Configure your project

datasecops setup

This prompts for your Snowflake connection name and native app database, then writes .datasecops.yml.

If you skip this step, running datasecops will offer to run setup automatically.

2. Run the CLI

datasecops

Features

Menu	Capabilities
Development	dbt run, build, test, lint (SQLFluff), deps, seed, compile, snapshot, freshness, docs
Git	Branch create/checkout/delete, commit & push, rebase, squash, deploy to environment branches, cherry-pick
Downloads	SQLFluff config, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps), dbt packages, Cortex Code skills

Non-Interactive Mode (CI/CD)

The download subcommand lets you pull framework config in CI/CD pipelines without interactive prompts:

# Download specific items
datasecops download sqlfluff
datasecops download sqlfluff packages
datasecops download pipelines macros

# Install framework-pinned package versions
datasecops download install-sqlfluff
datasecops download install-dbt

# Download config and install packages together
datasecops download sqlfluff install-sqlfluff

# Download and install everything
datasecops download all

Available items: sqlfluff, pipelines, packages, macros, scripts, install-sqlfluff, install-dbt, all

The pipeline platform (GitHub / Azure DevOps) is auto-detected from the native app's source control configuration.

Pipeline Setup

Your pipeline needs two things:

1. A .datasecops.yml in the repo (already committed — contains no secrets):

   connection_name: "ci"
   app_database: "DATA_ENGINEERS_DATASECOPS_FRAMEWORK"
   

2. A Snowflake connection in ~/.snowflake/connections.toml for the CI service account:

   # GitHub Actions example
   - name: Configure Snowflake connection
     run: |
       mkdir -p ~/.snowflake
       cat > ~/.snowflake/connections.toml << EOF
       [ci]
       account = "${{ vars.SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT }}"
       user = "${{ vars.SNOWFLAKE_USER }}"
       authenticator = "snowflake_jwt"
       private_key_file = "/tmp/rsa_key.p8"
       warehouse = "CI_WH"
       role = "CI_ROLE"
       EOF
   
   - name: Download SQLFluff config
     run: datasecops download sqlfluff
   

The exit code is 0 on success, 1 if any download fails.

MCP Server

The package includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes your framework's governance configuration to AI coding assistants. Instead of static skill files, the MCP server gives AI tools live access to your native app's current rules.

Available Tools

Category	Tools
Configuration	get_branching_rules, get_linting_rules, get_dbt_packages, get_pipeline_config, get_dbt_versions
Project	get_project_settings, get_project_profiles, get_deployment_targets, get_available_skills
Linting	lint_sql, fix_sql, lint_project
Source Control	validate_branch_name, get_deployment_workflow

Setup for AI Tools

Cortex Code:

cortex mcp add datasecops-framework -- datasecops-mcp

VS Code / Cursor — add to .vscode/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasecops-framework": {
      "command": "datasecops-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Recommended MCP Server Stack

For full integration with Snowflake, dbt, and your source control platform, configure these MCP servers alongside the framework server:

Server	Purpose	Install
datasecops-framework	Governance rules, linting, branch validation	Included (datasecops-mcp)
dbt	Lineage, model discovery, codegen, semantic layer	pip install dbt-mcp
GitHub	PRs, issues, CI checks, releases	npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github
Azure DevOps	PRs, pipelines, work items, boards	npx -y @tiberriver256/mcp-server-azure-devops

See the Getting Started Guide for full configuration instructions for each editor and platform.

Configuration

The CLI reads from a .datasecops.yml file in your project root (created by the setup script):

connection_name: "my_connection"
app_database: "DATA_ENGINEERS_DATASECOPS_FRAMEWORK"

Project profiles, linting rules, pipeline templates, and deployment targets are all managed centrally in the native app and pulled down by the CLI.
