This tool lets you easily create or update vector tilesets on Mapbox from your CSV files using command line. It can be especially handy if you need to periodically update some vector tileset (e.g. every day updates). It is alternative for Mapbox Studio where you can do almost same things manually. Under the hood the tool is using Mapbox Python API, ogr2ogr and tippecanoe utilites. Just pass your CSV file with WKT geometries, specify some parameters and you are done.
