run-app

run-app is a skill for Claude Code from mendixlabs/mxcli. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building and starting a Mendix application in Docker, a tool that runs the app in an isolated container. It also covers restarting the app after model changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch the app, rebuild it after changes, and check changes in a running environment.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually prepare the build tools, runtime, and container setup before running the application.

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

run-app 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 9d 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.

Run App Skill

This skill builds and starts the Mendix application in Docker.

When to Use This Skill

Use this when:

  • The user asks to run, start, or launch the app
  • The user asks to rebuild and restart after making changes
  • The user wants to test their changes in a running environment

Prerequisites Check

Before running, verify:

  1. mxcli is local — always use ./mxcli, not mxcli
  2. Docker is available — check with docker ps

Everything else (MxBuild, runtime, Docker stack) is auto-downloaded/initialized by docker run.


Quick Start: One Command

# Setup, build, and start — handles everything automatically
./mxcli docker run -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr --wait

This single command:

  1. Downloads MxBuild (if not cached)
  2. Downloads the Mendix runtime (if not cached)
  3. Initializes the Docker stack (if not already done)
  4. Builds the PAD package
  5. Starts the containers in the background
  6. Waits for "Runtime successfully started" (with --wait)

The app is available at: http://localhost:8080 Admin console: http://localhost:8090 (password: AdminPassword1!)


After Making MDL Changes

Model/page/security changes (microflows, entities, pages, navigation):

# 1. apply MDL changes to the project
./mxcli exec changes.mdl -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr

# 2. Rebuild and hot reload (no restart, keeps database)
./mxcli docker build -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr --skip-check
./mxcli docker reload -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr

Use docker reload for most changes — it reloads the model in ~100ms without restarting. Use docker run --fresh only when schema changes are destructive (dropped entities/attributes):

./mxcli docker run -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr --fresh --wait

CSS/theme changes only (no rebuild needed):

# Instant CSS hot reload — pushes to all connected browsers
./mxcli docker reload -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr --css

Or simply hard-refresh the browser (Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+Shift+R) — the volume mount means compiled CSS is immediately available on disk after mxcli docker build.
