Get Fast Answers from Meiro MI with AI + MI CLI

Meiro Integrations CLI is a safe, read-only tool for checking data in your Meiro Integrations environment.
Most users do not need to run terminal commands manually. Your AI assistant can run MI CLI for you.

This means you can ask questions in plain language, and your AI agent can fetch the data, summarize results, and suggest next actions.

Why this matters:

Who this is for:

You do not need to be a CLI expert. If you can describe what you need, your AI assistant can usually do the rest.

How To Use MI CLI Without Terminal Work

Recommended approach: AI-first workflow.

What you need:

Copy-paste prompts:

• Prompt 1 (install)
  “Install mi-cli from this repository: <repo path or URL>. If PATH is missing, fix it. Confirm when ready.”
• Prompt 2 (add environment)
  “Add credentials for mi-cli instance alias ‘prod’: URL <url>, user <email>, password <password>.”
• Prompt 3 (verify access)
  “Verify mi-cli connection for prod and confirm authentication is valid.”
• Prompt 4 (first check)
  “Using mi-cli on prod, show system info, workspace count, and last workspace job status summary.”

That’s enough to get started.
From here, ask operational questions and let the AI handle command details.

Daily Use Cases

1. Daily instance health check

• When to use:
  Start of day, incident triage, or pipeline sanity check.
• Ask your AI:
  “Using mi-cli on prod, run auth check, system info, workspace overview, and last jobs. Return GREEN/YELLOW/RED with key metrics and failing workspaces.”
• What you get:
  A fast signal of whether MI scheduling/execution looks healthy.

2. Investigate a failed workspace run

3. Get root cause from configuration logs

• When to use:
  You need the exact error message or traceback.
• Ask your AI:
  “For workspace 123, configuration 777 in prod, fetch the latest failed run logs (error level) and summarize the root cause. Include the most important log lines.”
• What you get:
  Evidence-based diagnosis from configuration-level logs (usually more useful than workspace-level logs).

4. Validate whether a recent config change caused breakage

• When to use:
  Runs started failing “after a change.”
• Ask your AI:
  “Review configuration 777 history and recent job outcomes in prod. Correlate timeline and identify likely regression window.”
• What you get:
  A change-to-failure timeline you can use for debugging and rollback decisions.

5. Find where a field/keyword is used across configurations

• When to use:
  Before renaming fields, changing schemas, or deprecating variables.
• Ask your AI:
  “Search configuration settings for ‘event_timestamp’ in prod and list affected workspaces/configurations with impact notes.”
• What you get:
  Impact analysis before making risky upstream/downstream changes.

6. Inspect script/settings used by a configuration

• When to use:
  The processor behavior looks incorrect, and you need the exact runtime logic.
• Ask your AI:
  “Get configuration 777 script and settings in prod, then summarize suspicious logic, dependency assumptions, and likely failure risks.”
• What you get:
  A focused script/config review without UI navigation.

7. Validate real input/output data in sandbox preview

• When to use:
  Errors suggest missing columns, invalid structure, or parsing issues.
• Ask your AI:
  “For workspace 123 configuration 777 in prod, inspect input and output previews and highlight schema mismatches or unexpected values.”
• What you get:
  Direct evidence from actual processed data, not assumptions.

8. Download sandbox artifacts for deep analysis

• When to use:
  Preview is not enough and full artifacts are required.
• Ask your AI:
  “Download input and output sandbox archives for workspace 123 configuration 777 in prod to local files and summarize what to inspect first.”
• What you get:
  Full reproducible artifacts for deeper technical debugging.

9. Compare staging vs production behavior

• When to use:
  Issue appears in one environment but not another.
• Ask your AI:
  “Run equivalent workspace/job health checks for staging and prod, then return side-by-side differences and top suspected causes.”
• What you get:
  Fast environment diff with consistent methodology.

10. Use fallback endpoint access for advanced diagnostics

• When to use:
  You need a read-only GET endpoint that has no dedicated command yet.
• Ask your AI:
  “Use mi api get on prod for path <endpoint> with needed query params, then summarize key findings and next checks.”
• What you get:
  Flexible read-only API coverage without waiting for a new CLI command.

Security and Access Notes

Basic Terminal Commands (Manual Mode)

Most users can rely on AI prompts. If you prefer manual usage, here is a minimal starter set:

# Check saved environments
mi instance list

# Verify auth
mi auth status --instance prod --check

# Quick health check
mi system info --instance prod
mi workspaces last-jobs --instance prod

# Inspect workspaces
mi workspaces list --instance prod --limit 50

# Search configurations by keyword
mi configurations settings-search --instance prod --search-text "event_timestamp" --limit 20

# Get help
mi --help
mi workspaces --help
