Start
- Install
The dots CLI ships inside the desktop app, so installing the app is how you get it. Open a terminal and check that the command answers.
dots --version - Connect
Register the dots MCP server with your coding agent so it can read and write your Dotabases while it works.
claude mcp add --scope user dots -- dots mcp - First Dotabase
Build a small Dotabase from scratch: add rows, connect them with edges, and read the result back as a graph.
Then What?
- What Is Dots?Dots is a knowledge platform built on one primitive, the Dotabase: a typed collection of rows you read as a table, walk as a graph, or hand to an agent as context.
- DIIICEDIIICE is the six-way taxonomy every DOT is classified into: Data, Intelligence, Instructions, Ideas, Context, and Examples.
- DOTs And The Knowledge GraphEvery row is a DOT — an atomic unit of knowledge — and typed, directed edges connect them into a knowledge graph.
- QuickstartYou already have the IAGREED plugin. Paste one prompt into Claude Code or Codex: your agent brings Dots up on the posture you pick and runs you through first run.
- Quickstart: AgentsConnect an MCP-capable agent to your workspace, scope what it may do, and give it a credential of its own.
- Quickstart: DevelopersEvaluate Dots from the terminal: install the CLI, create a Dotabase, write and read rows, and connect them into a graph.
- Quickstart: TeamsInvite your team into a workspace, give each role only the Dotabases it needs, and read back who did what.
