Remote servers (local ↔ remote)

The merido CLI normally operates on the local instance (the SQLite store under ~/.merido). You can also point it at a remote merido server's control plane and switch back and forth.

Connect

1. In the remote server's dashboard, create a Management token (mdm_…).

2. Add the server and validate the token:

   merido server add prod --url https://merido.dev --token mdm_xxxxxxxx
   # omit --token to be prompted

3. Switch to it:

   merido server use prod
   merido keys list        # now lists the remote server's keys
   merido server use local # back to this machine

Run a single command against a context without switching:

merido --context prod providers list

What runs remotely

Read commands work against the active context: keys list, providers list, accounts list, gain. Mutating commands (keys create, providers add, accounts remove) and start always run locally for now.

Where the config lives

Servers are stored in ~/.merido/cli.toml (mode 0600). The mdm_ token is stored in plaintext — treat that file like an SSH key, especially on shared machines.
