catalog-search

A command-line search for services published in Mendix Catalog, an online Mendix registry where organisations list services that other applications can use. It searches the registry rather than the local app's metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find REST or OData services, restrict results to production services or services you own, and return results in JSON for scripts.
Why use it?
It helps you find an existing service to connect to instead of searching through projects or building a duplicate.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

catalog-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Catalog Search (Mendix Platform Service Registry)

Search and discover services registered in Mendix Catalog (catalog.mendix.com) programmatically.

⚠️ NOTE: This is the external Mendix Catalog service (CLI: mxcli catalog search), NOT the MDL CATALOG keyword which queries local project metadata tables (SELECT ... FROM CATALOG.entities). See .claude/skills/mendix/browse-integrations for MDL CATALOG queries.

Authentication Required

Catalog search requires a Personal Access Token (PAT):

# One-time setup
mxcli auth login

Create a PAT at: https://user-settings.mendix.com/ (Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens)

Basic Usage

# Search for services
mxcli catalog search "customer"

# Filter by service type
mxcli catalog search "order" --service-type OData
mxcli catalog search "api" --service-type REST

# Production endpoints only
mxcli catalog search "inventory" --production-only

# Services you own
mxcli catalog search "sales" --owned-only

# JSON output for scripting
mxcli catalog search "data" --json | jq '.[] | {name, uuid, type}'

Output Formats

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
