Damira AI

Quickstart

Install the Damira plugin in Cursor or Claude Code and send your first query in under five minutes.

Prerequisites

No signup is needed to try it — a shared demo key is built in (50 queries a day).

1. Install the Plugin

Cursor — add the marketplace:

agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ciscoittech/damira-plugins

Then Settings → Plugins (or /plugins) and install damira.

Claude Code — add the marketplace and install:

/plugin marketplace add ciscoittech/damira-plugins
/plugin install damira@damira-plugins

2. Add Your API Key (Optional)

Skip this to stay on the demo key. For real use:

  1. Sign in at damiraai.com/dashboard
  2. Go to API Keys in the sidebar
  3. Click Create Key and copy it — you will not see it again

In Claude Code, paste the key when the plugin asks for it on enable. It's stored in your system keychain.

In Cursor, export it in your shell profile:

export DAMIRA_API_KEY='oncall_sk_...'      # add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

3. Send Your First Query

Start a new agent session and try:

My BGP neighbor 10.1.1.2 keeps flapping. What should I check?

You get a structured diagnosis — most-probable causes ranked, the exact commands to run, and verification steps. The first time each Damira tool runs, Claude Code asks for permission — choose always-allow and it won't ask again.

4. Set Up a Project

In Claude Code, run /damira:init once in a new project folder. In Cursor, ask the agent to "set up a Damira workspace". Either way it asks which vendors, platforms, and versions you run and how changes get approved, then records your network so every session starts with that context.

Not Using Cursor or Claude Code?

Claude Desktop / Windsurf — MCP server. All clients, including the Cursor MCP fallback: Install. Tool reference: MCP Server.
