--name, --title, --tags, --public, --private — the full push-time flag surface.

Full push flags

Every flag below can be passed to instadash push. Required flags are --key (or the INSTADASH_KEY env var) and at least one data source (--file, --url, or stdin).

--name, -n(required)Grid slug — URL-safe, e.g. sales-q2
--titlesame as --nameHuman-readable title shown in the UI
--description, -d""Freeform description indexed for mesh search
--tags[]Comma-separated tags: --tags "sales,q2,2026"
--file, -fstdinPath to local file (.jsonl, .json, .csv)

--pathDot-path to extract from JSON: --path results.items
--csvfalseParse as CSV. First row = headers.

Example — fully specified push

instadash push \
  --key sk_live_… \
  --name q2-revenue \
  --title "Q2 2026 Revenue" \
  --description "Consolidated revenue across all regions, Q2 2026" \
  --tags "revenue,q2,2026,finance" \
  --file ./revenue.jsonl \
  --public

Env var shorthand

export INSTADASH_KEY=sk_live_…
# --key can now be omitted from every command
instadash push --name q2-revenue --file revenue.jsonl

Note: The MCP server reads INSTADASH_KEY from its env block — the same variable, no duplication needed.
