Inspect and control a running meow (meow-rs, the Rust mihomo / Clash Meta kernel) from the shell with meow-cli. Use when the user asks why traffic goes where it goes, which node a proxy group uses, to switch a group's node or the routing mode, to look at or close connections, to test node delays, to query or flush DNS, to update providers or subscriptions, to read the logbook or follow the log, or to reload the config.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# meow-cli `meow-cli` talks to a running meow over its REST API (the `external-controller`). It never starts or stops meow; every command is one or a few HTTP requests. `meow-cli --help` and `meow-cli <command> --help` list every option. If `meow-cli` is not on PATH, use the one that ships with this skill, two directories above its folder: `<dir>/meow-cli` (`meow-cli.exe` on Windows) beside `<dir>/skills/meow-cli/`. The folder may be a link; go up from its real path (`cd <folder> && pwd -P`), not from the link. ## Connecting meow serves the API only when its config sets `external-controller`. Once the API is up, meow writes its address and secret to a file that only the user meow runs as can read. On that machine, as that user, meow-cli needs no options, whoever started meow: a service, a terminal, or a desktop GUI that passed the secret on meow's command line. meow-cli finds the controller in this order: 1. `--controller host:port` or `MEOW_CONTROLLER` 2. `external-controller` in the config given with `--config FILE` or `MEOW_CONFIG` 3. the meow running as this user, from its file 4. `127.0.0.1:9090` …

How to install
mdr add meow-rs/meow-rs/meow-cli@sha256:dfe3a313fed10aedThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.0da7dec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
