dribba

Official SDK and CLI for the Dribba public API.

No API key, no OAuth, no account. Every read endpoint is public. If you were looking for the credentials page, there isn't one — see dribba.com/auth.md.

• Reference: https://dribba.com/docs
• Contract: https://dribba.com/openapi.json (OpenAPI 3.1)
• Developer portal: https://dribba.com/developers

CLI

Nothing to install:

npx dribba services --table
npx dribba cases --limit 3 | jq -r '.items[].slug'
npx dribba estimate --platforms ios,android --complexity complex
npx dribba ask "flutter migration"
npx dribba markdown /servicios
npx dribba --help

Add --sandbox to hit the frozen fixtures instead of production.

MCP server (stdio bridge)

Dribba's MCP server is remote — Streamable HTTP at https://dribba.com/mcp. If your client only speaks stdio, this package ships the bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dribba": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "dribba-mcp"] }
  }
}

npx dribba-mcp            # product surface: 5 tools + llms.txt resources
npx dribba-mcp --docs     # documentation surface: 4 tools

It forwards JSON-RPC and nothing else, so the tools, resources and protocol version are whatever the server declares — there is no second implementation to drift. If your client does speak Streamable HTTP, skip the bridge and point it straight at the URL.

Verified with the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk over stdio: connect, tools/list, tools/call, resources/list, resources/read.

SDK

npm i dribba

import { Dribba } from "dribba";

const dribba = new Dribba();

const { items, total, next_cursor } = await dribba.services({ limit: 5 });
const study = await dribba.case("cityxerpa");
const budget = await dribba.estimate({ platforms: ["ios", "android"] });

// Whole collections, following the cursor for you
for await (const job of dribba.paginate("/api/v1/jobs")) {
  console.log(job.title);
}

Errors

Every 4xx/5xx throws a DribbaError. Branch on code — it is stable. title and detail are prose and may be reworded.

import { DribbaError } from "dribba";

try {
  await dribba.service("nope");
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof DribbaError && error.code === "resource_not_found") {
    console.log(error.resolution); // what to do next, from the server
  }
}

Rate limits

120 requests per 60 seconds per IP. After any call, dribba.rateLimit holds what the last response advertised, so you can self-throttle instead of provoking a 429:

await dribba.company();
console.log(dribba.rateLimit); // { limit: 120, remaining: 118, reset: 47 }

Sandbox

Frozen fixtures with production shapes. Useful because a test that asserts "there are 9 services" breaks the day we publish the tenth — against the sandbox it does not.

const sandbox = new Dribba({ sandbox: true });
const services = await sandbox.services(); // services.sandbox === true

Idempotency

Idempotency-Key on any POST. Same key and same body replays the stored response; same key with a different body is a 400.

await dribba.estimate(input, { idempotencyKey: crypto.randomUUID() });

Markdown, and the async export

Any page as markdown, and a one-request export of many pages:

const page = await dribba.markdown("/servicios");

const job = await dribba.startExport(["/", "/precios", "/servicios"]);
await dribba.waitForExport(job.id);
const everything = await dribba.exportResult(job.id);

Export jobs live in one server instance's memory and expire after 15 minutes; a 404 while polling means the request reached a different instance, not that the work was lost.

Beyond the REST API

• MCP — two remote servers over Streamable HTTP, no auth: https://dribba.com/mcp (actions) and https://dribba.com/docs/mcp (docs). See https://dribba.com/developers/mcp.
• Markdown of any page — Accept: text/markdown, or append .md.
• The whole site as an OKF bundle.
• /ask — NLWeb: a natural-language question, verbatim passages back.

Skills and the Agent Plugins manifest

This repo doubles as a portable Agent Plugin:

plugin.json          the manifest
mcp.json             the two remote MCP servers
skills/              seven SKILL.md files describing what dribba.com exposes

Install the skills into your agent:

npx skills add dribbaengineering/dribba

skills/ is generated from what the site serves at https://dribba.com/.well-known/agent-skills/. Edit the site, not the copy — the copy is what drifts.

Requirements

Node 20+. Zero dependencies.
