dbt
AvailableSemantic Layer
Connect Viz directly to your dbt semantic layer to visualize metrics defined in MetricFlow, no duplicate modeling required.
Why connect dbt?
Connecting dbt means your team stops exporting it by hand and starts working with it directly inside Dex.
- Visualize metrics defined once in dbt, with no duplicate modeling in a BI tool
- Keep every dashboard grounded in the same governed definitions your data team maintains
- Let dbt stay the single source of truth for what a metric means
Works with Dex
dbt connects to the Exmergo products your team already uses.
How it works
Connecting dbt to
Exmergo DexPoint Dex at dbt
Install Dex in Claude Code by running /plugin marketplace add exmergo/exmergo-agent-plugins and /plugin install dex@exmergo, then run /dex:explore against dbt. Dex connects with your dbt credentials directly, so they, and your raw data, never enter the model's context.
$ /plugin marketplace add exmergo/exmergo-agent-plugins
$ /plugin install dex@exmergo
$ /dex:explore
Explore before touching anything
/dex:explore profiles the schema it finds in dbt and proposes what to model before writing a single line of dbt.
$ /dex:explore
Author governed dbt models
/dex:transform writes and maintains the dbt models and tests that turn raw dbt data into trusted, reusable tables in your project.
$ /dex:transform
Stay inside a cost guard
Dex enforces a cost guard on every query it runs against dbt, so exploration never turns into a surprise bill.
Catch drift automatically
/dex:maintain flags it when dbt's schema changes and proposes the fix, instead of letting your dbt project silently drift out of sync.
