Omni’s agent skills bring analytics capabilities directly into your development environment. They are open-source skills that let you explore models, run queries, build dashboards, and manage your Omni instance — all without leaving your IDE. The skills use Omni’s REST API and activate automatically based on your request. They work with AI coding assistants including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cortex Code, CoCo, and more.
Agent skills are different from the MCP Server. The MCP Server enables natural language querying of your data, while agent skills provide a broader set of capabilities for model building, content management, administration, and more.
