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 every app's CLI under a single mere command, serves them to agents over MCP, and stays read-only by default. Same workspace, same plane.

nine namespaces.
one entrypoint.

Every Mere product owns its own CLI adapter. mere resolves them — bundled first, env override always wins, app binaries on PATH as the escape hatch.

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.

# expose to your agent runtime mere mcp serve # write tools, opted-in only mere mcp serve --allow-writes
04
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.
