Dremio CLI

What it does

Dremio CLI is a command-line interface that gives AI agents, such as Claude Code or Codex, programmatic access to a Dremio lakehouse. Its self-describing commands let agents discover and operate Dremio's capabilities, and structured JSON output lets agents chain commands into automated workflows.

The CLI is intended for cases that need programmatic control: ingesting data, running transformations, creating tables and views, diagnosing slow queries, and automating workflows. It is distinct from the Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint, which suits business users asking questions through a chat-style agent, and from Dremio's built-in AI agent in the console. Every query runs through Dremio's existing access controls.

The CLI suits data engineers and developers who work with a Dremio lakehouse. It can be installed via pipx or uv tool, or with npm install dremio-cli, and the code is hosted at github.com/dremio/cli. Dremio Cloud, the consumption-based service the agent connects to, offers a 30-day trial with $400 in credit. Buyers should confirm CLI-specific costs and supported operating systems before rollout.

What it can do

• Self-describing commands that let agents discover and operate Dremio capabilities
• Ingest data, create tables, and run transformations from the agent
• Diagnose slow queries and errors via the CLI
• Structured JSON output for chaining commands and automating end-to-end workflows
• Install via pipx, uv, or npm (npm install dremio-cli)
• Access controls enforced on every query

Works with

• Claude Code
• Codex
• Cursor

Before you choose

• Use the CLI for programmatic control; use the MCP endpoint for chat-style business questions.
• Dremio Cloud uses consumption-based pricing, so long-running agent sessions can add usage; verify current rates with Dremio.
• Access follows your existing Dremio permissions, so agents see only data you are authorized to access.

Get started

Source also lists npm install dremio-cli.

1. Install the CLI using pipx, uv tool, or npm install dremio-cli.
2. Connect the CLI to your Dremio lakehouse using the GitHub documentation.
3. Point your coding agent (e.g., Claude Code or Cursor) at the CLI to run ingestion, transformations, or diagnostics.

Dremio Cloud offers a 30-day free trial with $400 in credits; this is a time-limited allowance, not a permanent free tier. The pricing model is consumption based. Buyers should verify the current per-DCU rate and any committed-contract options with Dremio before purchasing.
