MotherDuck CLI: query, pipelines, dashboards for your agents and CI

​The MotherDuck CLI gives you one install to query data, publish Python pipelines, and host dashboards from the terminal. It works for your coding agent, and it works just as well in a Makefile or a GitHub Action.

In this session, Mehdi Ouazza will run the whole thing live: hand Claude Code a one-line prompt and watch it install the CLI, spin up a free org, explore a 3.87M row Hacker News dataset, ship a pipeline, and publish a hosted dashboard, with real timings along the way. Then we'll go past the demo: why a CLI next to the MCP server, when to pick which, how the built-in guide commands keep agents from guessing, and how the same commands slot into CI with no AI involved.

You'll leave with:
- The CLI installed and a free org you can claim later
- A working pipeline and dashboard you can fork
- A clear rule of thumb for CLI vs MCP

Bring a terminal. Q&A at the end.
