Our review

Queries the Mantle Core API in read-only mode via the mcli CLI tool, providing access to customers, subscriptions, metrics, transactions, and other platform data.

Strengths

  • Full read-only access to Mantle data without needing the web interface.
  • Supports pagination and filters to retrieve large datasets.
  • JSON output easily parsable with tools like jq.

Limitations

  • Restricted to read-only operations (no create/update/delete).
  • Requires pre-authenticated CLI (no direct API token management).
  • List commands limited to 100 items per request with pagination.
When to use it

When you need to quickly look up Mantle data (customers, metrics, subscriptions) via a scriptable command-line interface.

When not to use it

When you need to create, update, or delete Mantle resources, as mcli is strictly read-only.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill explicitly restricts usage to read-only commands and warns against mutations. It does not instruct any destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions. The CLI tool is pre-authenticated and used only for querying data.

Check the MRR for the last 30 days in Mantle and output the results as JSON.
Search for a contact
Search Mantle entities for 'john@example.com' and list all associated customers and contacts.

name: mcli description: > Query the Mantle Core API using the mcli CLI tool. Use this skill when the user asks to look up, query, list, get, or investigate data from the Mantle platform — customers, subscriptions, metrics (MRR, ARR, churn, etc.), apps, plans, deals, contacts, usage events, charges, transactions, affiliates, tickets, meetings, email campaigns, email deliveries, or any other Mantle resource. Triggers on: "look up customer", "check MRR", "find subscription", "get metrics", "query usage events", "list deals", "search entities", "list email campaigns", "check email deliveries", or any request to read data from the Core API. This skill is READ-ONLY — never use mcli to create, update, or delete data.

mcli — Mantle Core API CLI

Query Mantle data via the mcli command. This skill covers read-only operations only.

Key Rules

  • Read-only: Only use list, get, search, timeline, and metrics subcommands. Never use create, update, delete, add-*, remove-*, or any mutating command.
  • Always use --json when you need to parse or analyze the output programmatically.
  • Pagination: Most list commands default to 25 items. Use --take to get more (up to 100) and --cursor or --page for pagination.
  • The CLI is pre-authenticated. Run mcli whoami if you need to confirm the current profile.

Quick Patterns

Look up a customer

mcli customers list --search "acme" --json
mcli customers get <id> --json
mcli customers get <id> --includes subscriptions --json
mcli customers timeline <id> --json

Check metrics

mcli metrics mrr --date-range last_30_days --json
mcli metrics arr --app-id <id> --json
mcli metrics revenue-churn --date-range this_month --json
mcli metrics sales --json

Find subscriptions

mcli subscriptions list --customer-id <id> --json
mcli subscriptions get <id> --json

Search across contacts and customers

mcli entities search --search "john@example.com" --json

View app events / usage

mcli apps list-events --app-id <id> --take 50 --json
mcli usage-events list --customer-id <id> --event-name "page_view" --json
mcli metrics usage-event --app-id <id> --event-name "api_call" --date-range last_7_days --json

Deals and pipeline

mcli deals list --status open --json
mcli deals get <id> --json
mcli deals timeline <id> --json

Charges and transactions

mcli charges list --customer-id <id> --json
mcli transactions list --customer-id <id> --app-id <id> --json

Full Command Reference

See references/commands.md for the complete list of read-only commands and their options.

Tips

  • Use mcli <resource> help <subcommand> to see all options for any command.
  • Pipe --json output to jq for filtering: mcli customers list --json | jq '.customers[] | .name'
  • Date ranges accept presets (last_30_days, this_year, etc.) or custom ISO 8601 dates via --start-date / --end-date.
  • When investigating a customer, start with entities search to find them, then drill into customers get, subscriptions list, charges list, etc.

Email campaigns and deliveries

mcli email-campaigns list --status active --json
mcli email-campaigns get <id> --json
mcli email-campaigns preview <id> --customer-id <cust_id> --json
mcli email-deliveries list --email-id <campaign_id> --json
mcli email-deliveries get <id> --json
mcli email-layouts list --json
mcli email-senders list --json
