history

Project history and usage

mmctl is Mattermost's administrative command-line client. The Mattermost documentation describes it as a CLI for Mattermost servers that is installed locally, uses the Mattermost API, and can operate remotely. Authentication can use login credentials or an authentication token, which makes it useful for administrators who do not have shell access to the Mattermost server host.

Project history

Its history is tied to Mattermost's transition away from the older server-local `mattermost` CLI for many administrative actions. Mattermost documentation says that from Mattermost v6.0, the majority of the older CLI commands were replaced by equivalents in mmctl, while some import, export, server, and database commands remained in the `mattermost` CLI. The mmctl documentation also notes that the tool was developed to a large extent through community contributions.

How it is used

In use, mmctl is a remote administration and automation tool for self-hosted and Cloud Mattermost instances. System administrators use it for user, team, channel, role, permission, config, auth, export, import, plugin, and other server-management operations from scripts or local terminals. The Homebrew package makes sense for admins who manage Mattermost from macOS without installing a full Mattermost server distribution.
