What it is and what it does
dlthub-client is a plugin that adds runtime deployment and execution capabilities to a data load tool. It extends the command-line interface with a runtime command, allowing users to deploy and run data pipelines, datasets, notebooks, and MCP servers on dltHub's managed infrastructure. The package acts as a client to dltHub Runtime API and is installed as part of the hub extra.
The package depends on httpx for HTTP requests, pyjwt for authentication, croniter and cron-descriptor for scheduling, attrs for data classes, pathspec for file matching, and tabulate for CLI output formatting. It is actively maintained and supports Python versions 3.10 through 3.13.
Use it for
- Deploy pipelines to dltHub for scheduled or on-demand execution without managing infrastructure.
- Run data notebooks on dltHub Runtime from the command line as part of a CI/CD workflow.
- Execute MCP servers through dltHub's managed environment for integration with other tools.
- Manage multiple pipeline deployments and monitor their execution via the CLI.
- Integrate pipelines into existing ETL workflows that require cloud-based scheduling.
