DMP CLI#

Use this skill when a task requires operating the Mingdata DMP CLI.

Quick Start#

1. Verify the CLI is installed:

bash

dmp version
# or
dmp --version

1. If the CLI is missing, download and install it from GitHub Releases:

bash

# Detect platform
OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')   # linux or darwin
ARCH=$(uname -m)
[ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ] && ARCH="amd64"
[ "$ARCH" = "aarch64" ] && ARCH="arm64"

# Get latest release tag
TAG=$(curl -sf https://api.github.com/repos/a652/dmp-cli/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"' | cut -d'"' -f4)

# Download binary
FILENAME="dmp-${TAG}-${OS}-${ARCH}"
curl -fL "https://github.com/a652/dmp-cli/releases/download/${TAG}/${FILENAME}" -o /usr/local/bin/dmp
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dmp

Releases page: https://github.com/a652/dmp-cli/releases

Available platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64, windows/amd64

1. Configure a DMP context before running data commands:

bash

DMP_SECRET_KEY=<secret> dmp config set-context <name> \
  --url https://dmp-api.example.com \
  --access-key <access-key>

dmp config use-context <name>

1. Verify configuration:

bash

dmp config current-context -o json
dmp config list -o json

When To Use#

• The user needs to create, inspect, or manage DMP audiences.
• The user needs to create or inspect DMP insight tasks.
• The user needs to sync DMP audiences to media platforms.
• The user needs to create or modify RTQ deals.
• The user needs DMP reference data for tags, apps, regions, or ad dimensions.
• The user needs to configure or validate the dmp CLI environment.

Prerequisites#

• dmp binary installed and on PATH.
• DMP context configured in ~/.dmp/config.yaml, or equivalent environment overrides provided.
• For non-interactive use, credentials must be supplied via environment variables.

Required Environment Variables#

VariableDescriptionDMP_SECRET_KEYSecret key in plaintext. Required for config set-context in non-TTY environments.DMP_UPLOAD_PASSWORDS3 upload password. Required for audience create upload with S3 and audience create transform.DMP_API_URLOptional API URL override.DMP_ACCESS_KEYOptional access key override.DMP_CONTEXTOptional context name override.

If configuration details are missing, do not guess. Tell the user to contact the Mingdata DMP team at product@mingdata.com to obtain the API URL, access key, secret key, context details, or upload password.

Output Contract#

• Use -o json when parsing command output programmatically.
• Use -o plain when capturing a single scalar value such as an ID.
• Scalar commands such as dmp version, dmp --version, dmp config current-context, dmp config set-context, and dmp config use-context return one logical value.
• Create commands return the created ID field consistently across formats.
• With -o json, scalar commands return a structured object such as {"version":"dev"} or {"currentContext":"dev"}.
• With -o plain, scalar commands return the bare value on one line.
• With -o table, scalar commands return a one-column table.
• With -o json, create commands return the full API response payload, for example {"audienceId":123} or {"taskId":456}.
• With -o plain, create commands return only the created ID.
• With -o table, create commands return a one-column table containing the created ID.

Error Handling#

• Exit code 0: success.
• Exit code 1: API error.
• Exit code 2: client or validation error.
• Exit code 3: network error.
• In non-TTY environments, errors are emitted to stderr as JSON with error_code and message fields.
• The process exit code is not duplicated inside the stderr JSON payload.

Configuration Validation#

dmp config current-context -o json returns:

json

{"currentContext":"dev"}

dmp config list -o json returns:

json

{"currentContext":"dev","contexts":[{"name":"dev","apiUrl":"https://dmp-api.example.com","accessKey":"ak","current":true}]}

Agent Guidance#

• Audience creation is asynchronous. After create, poll dmp audience status until audienceStatus is 1 or 0.
• Always resolve advertiser IDs with dmp sync advertisers --platform <N> before calling dmp sync create.
• Set credentials through environment variables in CI or agent workflows. Do not rely on interactive prompts.
• Use @filename inputs for complex JSON payloads instead of long inline shell strings.
• Query dmp ref data before building rule-based audiences if valid dimensions, apps, regions, or tags are unknown.
• For deal modification, only include the fields that should change. audiences is append-only.
