stmo-cli

How it works

stmo-cli is a CLI that Claude Code calls on your behalf. Install it, set your API key, and Claude Code can:

• Explore — discover data sources, find existing queries, browse schemas
• Write — create new Redash queries with proper BigQuery SQL
• Deploy — push queries, charts, and dashboards to STMO
• Execute — run queries and inspect results
• Analyze — export data for deeper analysis with other tools

For example, ask Claude Code to:

• "Find queries about Firefox DAU"
• "Write a query to track [metric] over time"
• "Fetch and run query #12345"
• "Explore what telemetry tables are available"

Pair it with the mozdata plugin for telemetry expertise and probe discovery.

Prerequisites

• Redash API key from https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org

Installation

For people who already have the Firefox source stored locally

cd /path/to/your/firefox/source/folder
./mach bootstrap

For anyone else

Install cargo-binstall.

cargo binstall stmo-cli

Build from source:

cargo build --release
# The binary will be at ./target/release/stmo-cli

Setup

1. Get your Redash API key from your user profile

2. Set environment variables:

export REDASH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export REDASH_URL="https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org"  # optional, this is the default

For Mozilla, the key can be accessed via the following URL: https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/users/me

3. Create directories:

stmo-cli init

4. Discover available queries:

stmo-cli discover                          # List your own queries
stmo-cli discover --search "firefox dau"   # Full-text search queries + dashboards

5. Fetch specific queries:

stmo-cli fetch 123 456 789

Usage

Fetch Queries from Redash

stmo-cli fetch --all                       # Fetch all tracked queries
stmo-cli fetch 123 456 789                 # Fetch specific queries
stmo-cli discover                          # List your own queries
stmo-cli discover --search "firefox dau"   # Full-text search queries + dashboards (--limit, default 50)

This creates/updates:

• queries/{id}-{slug}.sql - Query SQL
• queries/{id}-{slug}.yaml - Query metadata (parameters, visualizations, etc.)

Deploy to Redash

stmo-cli deploy       # Deploy changed queries (detected via git status)
stmo-cli deploy --all # Deploy all queries

Warning: This force overwrites the queries in Redash. Git is the source of truth.

File Structure

queries/
├── 123-mobile-crashes.sql
└── 123-mobile-crashes.yaml
dashboards/
└── 456-my-dashboard.yaml

Query IDs are embedded in filenames ({id}-{slug}.{ext}), so no separate config file is needed.

Development

Pre-commit Hooks

The project uses clippy in pedantic mode:

cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -W clippy::pedantic -D warnings

Install pre-commit hooks:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

Building for Release

cargo build --release
./target/release/stmo-cli --help
