Tabulay CLI and MCP tools for CSV

We plan to let your existing AI assistant work with your CSV files through Tabulay’s analysis tools. No built-in AI model.

Planned, not available. No release date announced.

A CSV CLI for scripts and agents

Tabulay CLI is the planned command-line interface to Tabulay’s CSV tools. We want scripts and terminal agents to inspect columns, run queries and obtain structured results. There is no command to install or run yet.

An agent command-line interface (ACLI) means commands an agent can call and results it can read. It describes the intended use here; it is not a separate product or a compatibility standard.

An MCP server for CSV

Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects AI applications to tools. We plan an MCP server that exposes Tabulay operations to compatible assistants. Your chosen assistant supplies the model and interprets your question. Tabulay supplies the file tools and executes the calculation.

We want the query, selected columns and assumptions to remain inspectable, so you can verify what produced the answer. Supported assistants, setup and the exact tool list remain to be defined.

Questions this could help answer

  • Which customers spent the most this quarter, excluding refunds?
  • Which transactions recur most often?
  • How did monthly revenue change by product category?

These are intended workflows, not working demos. Customer IDs, dates, refunds and mixed currencies need explicit handling. The model would interpret the request; the analysis engine would calculate the result.

Local calculations, external assistant rules

The current Mac app has no network access and collects no data. A future agent connection would introduce another application with its own permissions. An external AI assistant may send prompts, tool results or file data to its model provider. That provider’s settings and privacy terms would apply.

File permissions, result limits and previews for changes must be defined before these tools ship. We do not promise that a complete AI workflow will stay on your Mac.

What the current subscription covers

Tabulay Pro covers the current eight Mac app tools for $1.99/month in the US or 1,99 €/month in the euro area. Eligible subscribers get 14 days free, then the subscription renews monthly until cancelled. The feature table lists what is included.

CLI and MCP are a later stage. Their pricing and access are undecided. They are not available or included in today’s subscription promise.
