What Meilisearch Admin does

The Meilisearch Admin skill provides a command-line interface for performing administrative tasks on Meilisearch indexes. It allows users to check the health of the Meilisearch instance, monitor indexing tasks, and inspect index configurations. This skill is particularly useful for developers and data engineers who need to ensure their search functionality is running smoothly and efficiently. With this skill, you can perform read-only operations that are essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of your search indexes.

Using the skill is straightforward. You can run various commands to gather information about the status of your Meilisearch instance and its tasks. For example, commands like health, stats, and task-summary provide insights into the overall health and performance of the search service. Additionally, you can list all indexes or query specific index settings, making it easier to manage your search configurations without needing to dive into the Meilisearch API directly.

This skill is designed for those who require a reliable way to monitor their Meilisearch setup, whether for debugging purposes or routine checks. It is particularly beneficial in scenarios where indexing tasks may fail or become stuck, as it provides commands to identify and troubleshoot these issues quickly. By leveraging this skill, users can maintain a high level of operational oversight over their search indexes, ensuring that they are always optimized for performance.

In summary, the Meilisearch Admin skill is a valuable tool for developers and engineers working with Meilisearch, providing essential commands for monitoring and managing search indexes effectively.

node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs task-summary

# Check failed tasks
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status failed

# Check processing tasks
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status processing --limit 50

# Get specific task details
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs task 2030419

# List all indexes
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs indexes

# Get index stats
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs index models_v9

# Get filterable attributes for an index
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs index metrics_images_v1 filterable

# Use feed search instead of main
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs --feed stats
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs --feed tasks --status failed

Search Instances

The project has two Meilisearch instances:

Instance	Env Variables	Purpose
Main Search	`SEARCH_HOST`, `SEARCH_API_KEY`	Primary search (models, users, etc.)
Feed/Metrics	`METRICS_SEARCH_HOST`, `METRICS_SEARCH_API_KEY`	Image feed and metrics search

Use --feed flag to target the feed/metrics instance.

Common Indexes

Main Search

models_v9 - Model search
users_v3 - User search
articles_v3 - Article search

Feed/Metrics Search

metrics_images_v1 - Image feed with metrics

Debugging Tips

# Check if indexing is stuck
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status processing

# Find failed indexing tasks
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status failed

# Get error details for a failed task
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs task <taskId>

# Check if an index is still indexing
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs index <indexName>
