mammoth-cli 1.0.3

Command-line interface for the Mammoth Analytics platform

mammoth-cli

Drive the Mammoth Analytics platform from your terminal. The mammoth command uploads data, runs pipeline transformations, manages projects and dashboards, and exports results — for people at a shell and for autonomous agents alike.

• Human-friendly by default. In a terminal, commands print a readable table.
• Agent-native. When output is piped, you get a stable JSON envelope with a documented schema, exit codes, and error codes — no flags required.
• Safe. Every mutation carries a reviewed confirmation policy, so a destructive command never runs unattended by accident.
• Discoverable. mammoth capability list and mammoth schema get describe every command, so an agent can learn the surface at runtime.

The CLI is built on the public mammoth-io SDK. It adds no second HTTP client and calls no private SDK members.

Install

uv tool install mammoth-cli      # recommended: isolated, on your PATH
# or
pipx install mammoth-cli
# or
python -m pip install mammoth-cli

Then confirm the install:

mammoth --version

The CLI supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. For the one-line installers and the verified (signed) install flow, see docs/installation.md.

Quick start

mammoth auth login -w 4          # log in once; the secret goes to your OS keyring
mammoth doctor                   # confirm credentials resolve and the API answers
mammoth project list             # a table in a terminal, JSON when piped
mammoth dataset list --project 180

Full walkthrough: docs/quickstart.md.

Built for agents and CI

Piping or redirecting output yields the machine envelope, and --no-input turns on automatically off a terminal, so an agent needs no special flags:

mammoth project list | jq '.data'

To be explicit, pass --output json --no-input. Log in without a prompt with a permission-checked file:

mammoth auth login --input creds.json --output json --no-input

Feed multi-field requests as one document instead of many flags:

mammoth view transform math 1039 --project 180 \
  --input '{"expression": "price * qty", "new_column": "total"}'

Install the bundled agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor:

mammoth skill install

See docs/agents.md and the agent skill.

Compatibility

mammoth-cli follows Semantic Versioning for the 1.x series:

• The machine-output and error-envelope contract is stable. SCHEMA_VERSION (see mammoth_cli/__init__.py) identifies it and never changes incompatibly within a major version. New fields may be added; existing ones are preserved.
• The CLI surface is stable. Command names, flags, and exit codes are not removed or repurposed within a major version.
• Bug fixes ship in patch releases. Additive changes ship in minor releases.
