Free while in beta

Install mla

The terminal-native context layer for AI coding agents. Install it, sign in, and point it at a repo. It moves fast and it is free while in beta.

It is beta software. Install it and you are in.

  • Install mla and run mla login. A personal workspace is created for you automatically. No invite, no waiting on us.
  • It moves fast: expect rough edges and the occasional breaking change while we are in beta.
  • It is free while in beta, and we answer fast when you hit a snag.

Install

Install mla on macOS or Linux. Pick one; all three install the same single binary, mla.

curlRecommendedNo Node required
curl -fsSL https://meetless.ai/install.sh | sh
View install script →
HomebrewmacOS / Linux
brew install --cask meetless/tap/mla
npmNode 18.18+
npm install -g @meetless/mla

mla is a single binary with no required config. The curl and Homebrew paths need no Node at all.

Verify

To check that mla installed correctly, open a new terminal and run:

mla --version

If this prints a version number, you're ready.

First commands

The install wires mla into Claude Code for you. Two conscious steps remain: sign in, then bind a repo to a workspace.

1. Sign in (opens your browser). We create your personal workspace automatically on first sign-in:

mla login

2. Inside the repo you want to work in, bind it to a workspace:

mla activate

That is it. mla is now wired into Claude Code in that repo, and it starts grounding your agent in your team's decisions right away.

Security and verification

Cautious about piping a script to your shell? Good. Read it first:

curl -fsSL https://meetless.ai/install.sh | less

Pin a specific version:

curl -fsSL https://meetless.ai/install.sh | MLA_VERSION=0.1.0 sh

Every release ships a SHA256SUMS file and a signed manifest. The installer verifies the download automatically and aborts on any mismatch.

Upgrade

Upgrade in place to the latest signed release:

mla upgrade

Or upgrade with the method you installed with: re-run the install script, brew upgrade --cask mla, or npm install -g @meetless/mla@latest. Your config is untouched either way.

Uninstall

Remove mla and its local footprint:

mla uninstall
