Skill Claude Code

Discover and bulk-change widget properties across many pages with LIST WIDGETS and UPDATE WIDGETS. Use when the same widget setting has to change on many pages at once. Experimental — always DRY RUN first and back the project up.

Define event-driven APIs over Kafka with Mendix business event services — publish and subscribe contracts, CREATE/DROP/DESCRIBE. Use when building publish/subscribe integration between apps, or inspecting the business event services a project already has.

Skill Claude Code

Search the Mendix Catalog platform service registry (catalog.mendix.com) from the CLI to find services published across an organisation. Use when looking for an existing published service to consume. This is the external registry, not the MDL CATALOG keyword — for that see browse-integrations.

Quick fixes for the MDL syntax errors that come up most: undeclared variables, wrong retrieve source, list operations, expression mistakes. Use when mxcli check reports an error and you want the fix rather than the reference.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

One-page reference for declaring and assigning variables in MDL microflows — every type, with the exact syntax. Use when writing a declare and unsure of the spelling, or when a declaration error needs fixing fast.

Validate MDL with mxcli check before presenting or executing it, including reference resolution against a project. Use ALWAYS before showing MDL to a user, running mxcli exec, or committing a .mdl file — exec refuses exactly what check rejects.

Fetch data from a RapidMiner graph mart or any SPARQL 1.1 HTTP endpoint (AnzoGraph and friends) and surface it as Mendix entities. Use when a graph database with a SPARQL endpoint has to feed a Mendix app read-only.

Build a Mendix pluggable widget from scratch with React and TypeScript and package it as an .mpk. Use when no marketplace or built-in widget covers what is needed and a custom React component has to be written.

CREATE PAGE syntax reference — parameters, variables, layouts, and the full widget vocabulary. Use before writing any CREATE PAGE statement, or when a widget's property spelling needs checking.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

MDL syntax for pluggable widgets in CREATE PAGE / ALTER PAGE — any installed widget is named by its own name (htmlelement frame (…) { … }), with object lists and child slots read from its definition. Covers GALLERY, COMBOBOX, DataGrid2, charts and third-party widgets: datasource and column forms, child slots…

Skill Claude Code

Connect a Mendix app to an external database over JDBC with the External Database Connector, and define the queries microflows run against it. Use when the app must read or write Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQL Server directly from a microflow.

Diagnose BSON serialization problems in the MPR file — missing properties, wrong storage names, widget definitions Studio Pro rejects. Use when something created through MDL does not appear correctly in Studio Pro, or when a CE error points at a document mxcli wrote.

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.

Seed a Mendix app's PostgreSQL database directly, bypassing the runtime — Mendix's internal ID system, association storage, and bulk import from an external database. Use when populating test or demo data, when data is needed before the UI exists, or for imports too large for the runtime.

Skill Claude Code

Build, run and validate a Mendix app in Docker from inside a devcontainer. Use when asked to run the app in Docker or produce a deployable image. For the faster Docker-free loop, prefer run-local.

The full lifecycle of Mendix Marketplace modules and widgets from the CLI — search, download, install, detect local edits, and update. Use when adding a marketplace module or widget, upgrading one, or asking what an upgrade would overwrite.

Skill Claude Code

Define reusable widget groups with CREATE FRAGMENT and place them with USE FRAGMENT. Use when the same widget pattern repeats across pages and should be written once.

Generate a complete Mendix domain model in MDL — entities, attributes, associations, enumerations — and validate it. Use when asked for a domain model for a business area (e-commerce, HR, CRM, …) rather than a single entity.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Query the project as a dependency graph to assess the blast radius of a change, find dead or risky elements, and evaluate module health. Use when planning a refactor, judging what a change will break, or looking for unused documents.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Create and call custom Java actions — extending Mendix with server-side Java, and invoking those actions from microflows in MDL. Use when logic needs a Java library, an algorithm microflows cannot express, or an integration only available in Java.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Add, update, remove and audit a module's Maven/JAR dependencies in MDL — Studio Pro's Module Settings → Java dependencies tab. Use when a Java action needs an external library, when bumping a library version, or when auditing which modules pull what.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Create, call and drop JavaScript actions — client-side logic called from nanoflows, not microflows. Use when behaviour must run in the browser or on the device: DOM, fetch, geolocation, or wrapping a marketplace JS action.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Create and manage JSON structures, import mappings and export mappings in MDL, plus the domain-model shapes they map onto. Use when turning a JSON payload into entities, mapping a REST or queue response, or exporting objects as JSON.

mendixlabs/mxcli

Skill Claude Code

Change the model through mxcli while Studio Pro has the project open, with edits appearing live over MCP. Use when Claude Code and Studio Pro run on the same machine and a save-and-reopen cycle is unwanted.
