Popdock CLI
Give your AI agents a key to every business system.
Your models can reason. They just can't see. The Popdock CLI is a single command — popdock — that lets AI agents, scripts, and pipelines query every system PopdockAI connects to and get clean JSON back. Your agent asks a question; it gets data it can reason over and act on. No SDK. No glue code. No integration project.
01
Standardization
One command, one grammar, one output shape. Your agent learns it once and reaches every connected system instead of learning forty APIs
02
Understanding nuance
A full filter language (equals, ranges, “is one of”, field-to-field comparisons, relative dates) means agents ask questions and get precise answers. No more approximations that need clarifying.
03
Accelerated user experience
Server-side filtering, sorting, and column projection keep payloads small. You use fewer tokens, get faster responses, and receive the right answers on the first try.
How it works
The Data Layer
PopdockAI does the hard part underneath: connecting your systems and turning them into clean, uniform, and queryable lists. Whether your data lives in an ERP, CRM, or database, PopdockAI provides you with one access model, filter language, and a single place to govern what’s exposed.
Popdock CLI hands that data layer to your agent in the one shape an agent can always use: a command that returns structured JSON.
[{"CustomerId":62,"Name":"Wilbert Macejkovic","Balance":402.11,"City":"O'Keefemouth"}, …]
Your agent doesn't learn forty APIs; it learns one command, and reaches everything behind it.
Runs anywhere a shell does
01
An agent uses the CLI the same way it would run git or curl:
Ordinary command execution, an exit code, and a JSON payload. This means there’s no client, no protocol negotiation, and no runtime to stand up.
02
Works everywhere your AI lives:
CI pipelines, cron jobs, containers, bash scripts, or a developer’s terminal.
Because a human can type the exact same command, it’s the fastest way to review, debug, or reproduce exactly what your agent saw and pipe it into jq, PowerShell, or a spreadsheet.

Built to behave
The contract is designed for machines first.
01
JSON-first
Data on stdout, diagnostics on stderr. The agent reads the answer, not the noise.
02
Self-describing
Agents discover connectors, lists, and fields at runtime. No hard-coded IDs.
03
Token-efficient
Server-side filtering, sorting, and column projection keep payloads and context costs small.
04
Honest results
Filters and sorts run across the entire list, not just a page. No silent truncation that misleads the model.
05
Meaningful exit codes
0 success, 2 usage, 78 config, 1 runtime. Agents and scripts branch on what actually happened.
06
One-variable auth
Set
and the tool is live.
No config file, no login flow, no secrets on disk.
CAPABILITIES
What your AI can do
01
Discover → query → reason
Explore connectors, lists, and fields, then pull only the rows the task needs.
02
Ask precise questions
Utilize full filter language, field-to-field comparisons, and relative dates the server resolves for you.
03
Take action, not just read.
Run connector actions — Create Sales Order, Post Invoice— so agents close the loop, not just report on it.
04
Save reusable capabilities
Turn a query into a named favorite an agent can call forever, giving you a durable capability instead of a string of flags.
05
Pipe into anything
Clean JSON flows into jq, PowerShell, spreadsheets, schedulers, or back into the model — and outputs a table or CSV for human review.
HOW TO START
Three steps to your first query
01
Install
Grab the standalone binary (no runtime required), or install it as a .NET global too.
curl -fsSL https://cli.popdock.com | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://cli.popdock.com/install.ps1 | iex
02
Authenticate
Set
to a Popdock API token. Outside
the US, set
to your region.
03
Query
Give your agent the
command as a tool, and let it get the data back.
One prompt template with infinite possibilities.
Your AI assistant adapts its approach, tone, and capabilities to match each unique context while you maintain a single, manageable workflow.
