## What coral does, in the publisher's words

Coral is a single query interface for agents calling data source APIs.

Agents make fewer, more precise tool calls with Coral than they do with per-source MCP servers, CLI tools, or API wrappers. For agent read tasks, SQL has a structural advantage when a question needs more than one API call: it avoids paginating through large results, returns tabular rows instead of sprawling JSON, brings back only the columns you asked for, and correlates across sources in a single statement.

Everything is local: your data, credentials, and usage history never leave your machine.

- Install Coral. Use a download above, or see all installation options.
- Add your sources. Connect GitHub, Slack, Datadog, and other bundled sources from the sources page. Coral only fetches data from sources you connect.

## Skills

- coral-create-source-spec: Create or update a Coral source spec YAML for a custom HTTP API or local dataset. Use when authoring a standalone source for `coral source add --file`, or when adapting that spec into a Coral repo source under `sources/core` or `sources/community`.
- coral-review-source-spec: Review new or updated Coral source manifests and source PRs for content, style, product fit, query ergonomics, documentation quality, and consistency with existing Coral sources. Use when Codex is asked to review a sources/core/name or sources/community/name source directory, a manifest.yaml, or a…
- coral: Query live sources through Coral MCP. Use when the task needs GitHub, Jira, Slack, Linear, Datadog, Sentry, files, or connected data.
