### Description (declared)

# DBT CLI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the dbt CLI tool, enabling AI coding agents to interact with dbt projects through standardized MCP tools.

## Features

- Execute dbt commands through MCP tools
- Support for all major dbt operations (run, test, compile, etc.)
- Command-line interface for direct interaction
- Environment variable management for dbt projects
- Configurable dbt executable path
- Flexible profiles.yml location configuration

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- `uv` tool for Python environment management
- dbt CLI installed

### Setup

```bash
# Clone the repository with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/yourusername/dbt-cli-mcp.git
cd dbt-cli-mcp

# If you already cloned without --recurse-submodules, initialize the submodule
# git submodule update --init

# Create and activate a virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -e .

# For development, install development dependencies
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Usage

### Command Line Interface

The package provides a command-line interface for direct interaction with dbt:

```bash
# Run dbt models
dbt-mcp run --models customers --project-dir /path/to/project

# Run dbt models with a custom profiles directory
dbt-mcp run --models customers --project-dir /path/to/project --profiles-dir /path/to/profiles

# List dbt resources
dbt-mcp ls --resource-type model --output-format json

# Run dbt tests
dbt-mcp test --project-dir /path/to/project

# Get help
dbt-mcp --help
dbt-mcp run --help
```

You can also use the module directly:

```bash
python -m src.cli run --models customers --project-dir /path/to/project
```

### Command Line Options

- `--dbt-path`: Path to dbt executable (default: "dbt")
- `--env-file`: Path to environment file (default: ".env")
- `--log-level`: Logging level (default: "INFO")
- `--profiles-dir`: Path to dir…
