Missing from search
Support at Brightwave Ltd says a new article cannot be found. Memtro lists recent tasks, finds a failed document addition from 23:40 with a primary key error, and confirms the article is not in the index.
Meilisearch + Memtro
Ask why a document is missing from Meilisearch search, and whether last night's import failed.
Connect Meilisearch with your host and an API key and Memtro reads indexes with their statistics, searches an index, reads one document and lists indexing tasks with their status and errors. The instance's API keys are never read, and documents are your own data, so restrict the key to the indexes Memtro should see. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name and the key allows, it can add, update or permanently delete documents, empty an index, create, delete or swap indexes, change settings and synonyms, cancel tasks, and start dumps or snapshots.
In Memtro
What you can do with Meilisearch in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Meilisearch tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Indexes with primary key and dates, and per index the document count and which fields documents carry
- 02Search one index, with filter and sort on the attributes it declares filterable or sortable
- 03One document by primary key, cut to 30 fields, and indexing tasks newest first with status, errors and timings
- 04When asked and granted, adds or updates documents, replacing whole any with the same primary key, or permanently deletes documents one by one, by filter or by emptying an index
- 05When asked and granted, creates an index, permanently deletes one with all its documents and settings, or swaps two so every app searching them changes at once
- 06When asked and granted, changes an index's settings, synonyms or primary key, cancels or clears tasks, and starts a dump or snapshot on the server
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Meilisearch. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Add documents to an index, replacing whole any document with the same primary key
- 02Update fields of documents in an index, adding any that do not exist
- 03Delete one document from an index
- 04Delete the documents in an index that match a filter
- 05Empty an index (delete every document)
- 06Create an index
- 07Delete an index with all its documents and settings
- 08Delete up to 100 listed documents by id
- 09Change an index's settings (searchable, filterable, sortable and displayed attributes, ranking, stop words, synonyms, typo tolerance, limits)
- 10Replace an index's synonyms
- 11Change an index's primary key
- 12Swap two indexes
- 13Cancel listed queued or running tasks
- 14Delete listed tasks from the task history
- 15Create a dump of the instance
- 16Create a snapshot of the instance
Events
When it happens
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Meilisearch for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Meilisearch sends a secret with every delivery, and one without it is refused.

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Meilisearch is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Meilisearch + Memtro
Did last night's import into the products index fail?
Why does a search for blue kettle return nothing?
How many documents are in the articles index?
Delete the document with id 4471 from the products index
Add kettle as a synonym for jug in the products index
Removing a withdrawn product
Priya Sharma asks Memtro to take a recalled Acme product out of search. With the action granted, Memtro finds it, permanently deletes that one document by primary key and says the task was queued. The shop's search stops showing it once the task runs.

How to connect
Connect withHost and API key

Make a key for Memtro (Meilisearch Cloud → Project → Settings → API Keys, or POST /keys with the master key) with indexes.get, stats.get, search, documents.get and tasks.get. Never paste the master key
- 2
Add documents.add and documents.delete only if Memtro should change documents, indexes.create, indexes.update, indexes.delete and indexes.swap to manage indexes, settings.update for settings, tasks.cancel and tasks.delete for tasks, and dumps.create and snapshots.create for backups
- 3
In Connections → Meilisearch in Memtro type the Host name only, a public DNS name with a publicly trusted certificate (plain http on 7700 is refused, so put a self-hosted server behind a TLS proxy), and paste the API key
- 4
Ask whether last night's import failed
Also works from

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Meilisearch?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add documents to an index, replacing whole any document with the same primary key; update fields of documents in an index, adding any that do not exist; delete one document from an index; delete the documents in an index that match a filter; empty an index (delete every document); create an index; delete an index with all its documents and settings; delete up to 100 listed documents by id; change an index's settings (searchable, filterable, sortable and displayed attributes, ranking, stop words, synonyms, typo tolerance, limits); replace an index's synonyms; change an index's primary key; swap two indexes; cancel listed queued or running tasks; delete listed tasks from the task history; create a dump of the instance; create a snapshot of the instance. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Meilisearch connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Meilisearch data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Meilisearch?+
Host and API key. Make a key for Memtro (Meilisearch Cloud → Project → Settings → API Keys, or POST /keys with the master key) with indexes.get, stats.get, search, documents.get and tasks.get. Never paste the master key.
Can Meilisearch start a job?+
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Meilisearch for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
