Last updated 2026-10-30 for clickhousectl 0.5.0. (update the CLI with clickhousectl update, update skills with clickhousectl skills)
ClickHouse with clickhousectl
clickhousectl manages ClickHouse in two environments:
- Local — ClickHouse installed and running on the user's machine, for development.
- Cloud — managed ClickHouse Cloud services, for production: fully managed, automatic scaling, backups, and upgrades.
This file routes to the right reference. The step-by-step workflows live in ref/local.md and ref/cloud.md — read the one that matches the user's situation before running commands.
Which reference to use
| The user wants to... | Read |
|---|---|
| Build an app with ClickHouse, develop or prototype locally, no cloud account needed | ref/local.md |
| Go to production, host a managed ClickHouse, or use ClickHouse Cloud explicitly | ref/cloud.md |
| Operate an existing cloud service (schemas, users, queries against it) | ref/cloud.md |
| Develop locally now, ship to production later | Start with ref/local.md; it points to ref/cloud.md when it's time to go to prod |
If it's genuinely ambiguous (e.g. "set up ClickHouse for my app"), default to local for development tasks and ask before creating anything in the cloud — cloud services cost money.
Prerequisites (both workflows)
Check that clickhousectl is installed:
which clickhousectlIf not found, install it:
curl -fsSL https://clickhouse.com/cli | shThis installs to ~/.local/bin/clickhousectl (with a chctl alias). If the command is still not found, suggest export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" or a new terminal.
All commands accept --json for machine-readable output, and switch to JSON automatically when run by a coding agent. SQL output from local client and local postgres client stays in psql or clickhouse-client's native format. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 error, 2 usage error, 3 cancelled, 4 auth required.

clickhouse-best-practicesskill for ORDER BY selection, data types, and partitioning. - For Postgres (local development or managed ClickHouse Cloud Postgres), use the
infra-postgresskill.
