Can I use Meilisearch as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Meilisearch CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Meilisearch through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Meilisearch tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Meilisearch credentials stored?

Meilisearch credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Meilisearch MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Meilisearch CLI Setup

Meilisearch can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure meilisearch`.

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure meilisearch --set api_key="$MEILISEARCH_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor meilisearch --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: API key api_key. Configure credentials once, then use the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua code mode, and the MCP gateway.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`api_key`	`MEILISEARCH_API_KEY`	Secret `secret`	yes	API Key
`url`	`MEILISEARCH_URL`	URL `url`	no	Meilisearch URL

Call Meilisearch Headlessly

Use the generic call form when another coding CLI or script needs a stable universal interface.

kosmo integrations:call meilisearch.meilisearch_list_indexes '{
  "limit": 1,
  "offset": 1
}' --json

Use the provider shortcut form for shorter human-facing commands.

kosmo integrations:meilisearch meilisearch_list_indexes '{
  "limit": 1,
  "offset": 1
}' --json

Agent Discovery Commands

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs meilisearch --json
kosmo integrations:docs meilisearch.meilisearch_list_indexes --json
kosmo integrations:schema meilisearch.meilisearch_list_indexes --json
kosmo integrations:search "Meilisearch" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
