Drive the Mendix runtime's microflow and nanoflow debugger from the command line with `mxcli debug` — breakpoints by name, variable inspection, step and continue. Use when a microflow produces the wrong result and reading it is not enough.

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.

# Debug Microflows — `mxcli debug`

## Overview

`mxcli debug` drives the Mendix runtime's **microflow debugger** from the command
line: set breakpoints **by name**, inspect a paused microflow's variables, and
step/continue — against an app started by `mxcli run --local`. It is the headless
counterpart to Studio Pro's debugger, so you can debug a server-side microflow
without leaving the warm loop.

mxcli is uniquely able to offer breakpoints **by name** because it owns both
halves: the admin password + app URL (from `run --local`) and the activity model
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/debug-microflows@sha256:5a510dfbc6ca7221

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.b26e538, 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.
