theportfolio command plane.

Every Mere product has two doors. mere.business is the human one — pixels, pointers, screens. merekit is the agent-native one — an open-source toolkit that bundles 14 app CLIs under a single mere command, includes @merekit/link for declared work graphs, serves tools to agents over MCP, sets up mere.run for local media work, and stays read-only by default. Same workspace, same plane.

Three commands you'd run on day one. The snapshot is the safest first operational read — manifest-declared, app-grouped, JSON-shaped.

fourteen namespaces.
one entrypoint.

Every Mere product owns its own CLI adapter. mere ships all 14 bundled adapters, honors env overrides, and falls back to app binaries on PATH when operators need an escape hatch.

04
local runtime

apps ask for
models.

Media local processing runs through mere.run. The root CLI now prepares that runtime and pulls app-requested models before work starts.

Ainstall the runtime

mere setup mere-run resolves an existing binary, builds from source, or installs a verified DMG. It keeps the runtime setup owned by the public CLI instead of burying it inside one app adapter.

# prepare mere.run for app use mere setup mere-run --json

Bpull what an app needs

Apps can declare the local models they require. Media currently asks for Parakeet ASR and Qwen3 embeddings so transcripts and searchable segments are ready before local processing.

# pull Media-requested local models mere setup mere-run models --app media --json # then process locally mere media process ./interview.m4a --transcribe --embed
05
two doors · one plane

the human surface
and the digital one.

mere.business is for humans — pixels, pointers, screens. merekit is for agents and operators — typed tools over MCP, read-only by default, manifest-bounded. Same data, same workspace.

Athe human door

mere.business is where people work. Pixels and pointers, dashboards and detail views, the full UI for each product in the portfolio. Same workspace, same contracts as the CLI — just the part that needs eyes on it.

# open the human surface open https://mere.business

Bthe agent door

merekit is agent-native by design — open-source, Apache 2.0. The mere binary exposes manifest-declared commands as MCP tools. Read tools are always on. Writes require --allow-writes. No guessing, no hidden flags, no implicit confirms.

# scaffold an agent kit for codex / claude mere agent bootstrap --target codex # expose to your agent runtime over MCP mere mcp serve # write tools, opted-in only mere mcp serve --allow-writes
06
guardrails

the root never
adds --yes.

Product CLIs remain authoritative for auth, mutation semantics, and destructive guardrails. The root passes flags through and stays out of the way.
prime directive MCP is read-only by default. Writes require --allow-writes or MERE_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES=1. enforced at boot
scoped tokens

Finance uses per-tenant scoped profiles. Tokens, not sessions; one product, one blast radius.

no implicit confirms

The root never injects --yes or --confirm. Destructive flags belong to the product.

manifest-bounded

Only flags a target manifest declares are forwarded. Use apps manifest --app APP --json to see the contract.
