Daita CLI

#What is daita-cli?

daita-cli is the standalone command-line interface for the Daita platform. It handles the full agent lifecycle — scaffolding projects, deploying to the cloud, running agents remotely, and observing executions, traces, and memory from your terminal.

The CLI is a separate package from daita-agents and can be installed on its own without the full agent framework. It ships as a core dependency of daita-agents, so if you have the framework installed you already have it.

#Installation

# Standalone — no agent framework required
pip install daita-cli
 
# Or as part of the full framework
pip install daita-agents

#Authentication

All cloud commands require an API key from the Daita dashboard. Set it as an environment variable:

export DAITA_API_KEY=your_api_key

Or place it in a .env file at the root of your project — the CLI loads it automatically.

#Global Options

These flags are available on every command:

# Machine-readable output
daita executions list --output json
 
# Verbose mode for debugging
daita push --verbose

#MCP Server

The CLI includes a built-in Model Context Protocol server that exposes your deployed agents as tools for coding assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others.

daita mcp-server

Configure it in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "daita": {
      "command": "daita",
      "args": ["mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DAITA_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once connected, your coding assistant can invoke any deployed agent as a tool.
