MailerLite CLI

The MailerLite CLI (mailerlite ) is a command-line tool and interactive TUI dashboard for the MailerLite email marketing API. It supports managing subscribers, campaigns, automations, groups, forms, segments, fields, webhooks, e-commerce (shops, products, categories, customers, orders, carts), and full account management.

Installation

Install via Homebrew, Nix, or download a binary from GitHub releases:

Homebrew

brew install --cask mailerlite/tap/mailerlite

Nix flake

nix profile install github:mailerlite/mailerlite-cli

Or download from https://github.com/mailerlite/mailerlite-cli/releases

The binary is called mailerlite .

Authentication

Before using the CLI, authenticate with MailerLite:

Interactive login (prompts for method — OAuth or API token)

mailerlite auth login

Direct token login

mailerlite auth login --method token --token "your_token_here"

Check authentication status

mailerlite auth status

Multi-Profile Support

Manage multiple accounts or tokens with named profiles:

mailerlite profile add production --token "prod_token" mailerlite profile add staging --token "staging_token" mailerlite profile switch production mailerlite profile list

Use --profile <name> on any command to override the active profile.

Multi-Account Support

If your OAuth credentials have access to multiple accounts:

mailerlite account list mailerlite account switch <account_id>

Token resolution order: MAILERLITE_API_TOKEN env var > --profile flag > active profile > first profile.

Config is stored at ~/.config/mailerlite/config.yaml .

Global Flags

These flags work on all commands:

Flag Description

--profile <name>

Select config profile

--verbose / -v

Show HTTP request/response details

--json

Output as machine-readable JSON

--yes / -y

Skip confirmation prompts

The CLI respects the NO_COLOR environment variable.

Critical: Always Use JSON Output

When executing mailerlite commands, always append --json to every command. JSON output is structured and parseable, making it reliable for extracting IDs, statuses, and other data needed for follow-up commands. The default table output is for human reading only and difficult to parse programmatically.

Correct - always use --json

mailerlite subscriber list --json mailerlite campaign get <id> --json

Incorrect - table output is hard to parse

mailerlite subscriber list

The only exceptions are dashboard (interactive TUI), completion (shell scripts), and simple write confirmations.

TUI Dashboard

mailerlite dashboard

Launch an interactive terminal dashboard with sidebar navigation, real-time data, and vim-style keybindings (j /k to navigate, Enter to select, ? for help, q to quit).

Key Patterns

  • Pagination: Use --limit <n> to control results. --limit 0 fetches all results.

  • Interactive mode: Omit required flags and the CLI prompts interactively.

  • JSON output: Append --json to any command for machine-readable output.

  • E-commerce nesting: Products, categories, customers, orders, and carts are nested under shops via --shop <shop_id> . Cart items require both --shop and --cart .
