mz command catalog

This is the catalog of on-box mz commands, grouped by domain. It’s the companion to The mz CLI (which covers how to invoke mz) and is written to be read by both power users and AI agents.

Reminder — the invocation contract

Every command needs a sub-action (mz cron list, not mz cron), most take --json for machine output, and mz runs as root with local trust (no tier/RBAC on the local path). See The mz CLI.

Domains

mz reaches every operation the dashboard does — 306 commands across 46 domains, because it shares the panel’s dispatch. The major domains:

Area	Domains
Sites & apps	site, app, stack, deploy
Databases	db, pg, mongo
Web stack	php, ssl, dns, mail
Docker	docker, container, volume, network, image
Scheduling & services	cron, daemon, service
Security	security, waf, user
Backups	backup, migrate
WordPress	wp
AI	ai, litellm, rag, mcp
System & storage	system, updates, storage, quota, livepatch, tuning
Infrastructure	lb, extension

Run mz --help on any box for the live, authoritative list (it’s generated from the engine, so it never drifts).

Discovering commands

• mz --help — list every live domain and read command.
• mz <domain> --help — the sub-actions for one domain.
• Each MZPanel guide page has a CLI & automation block with the key commands for that feature (for example, Cron jobs lists the mz cron … commands).

Note

Per-command tables (arguments and flags for each of the 306 commands) are being expanded here from the audited source. Until a domain is fully written up, use mz <domain> --help on the box — it is always current.
