## Project history and usage

mdz is the command-line interface for Lerian Midaz, a source-available ledger platform for financial infrastructure. The official CLI documentation describes it as a tool for interacting with Midaz services and APIs from the shell.

### Project history

Midaz is documented as a cloud-native ledger system centered on organizations, ledgers, assets, accounts, transactions, and balances. Its README describes a modular architecture with onboarding and transaction services, PostgreSQL and MongoDB storage, RabbitMQ eventing, OpenAPI documentation, and double-entry accounting for complex n:n transactions.

The Midaz CLI documentation labels the CLI as under development, but already describes single-line commands, interactive mode, help mode, and `mdz configure` for client IDs, client secrets, and service URLs. The upstream changelog and release page show an active 3.7.x release stream in 2026.

### Adoption history

The official getting-started guide positions Midaz for local developer evaluation on macOS and Linux using Go, Docker, Docker Compose, Make, and Git, then walks through a complete ledger workflow. The Homebrew input facts expose the CLI as the `mdz` package, giving package-manager users a direct entry point into the platform.

### How it is used

The core usage path is to run Midaz locally, create an organization, ledger, asset, source and destination accounts, submit a balanced transaction, and verify the balance. The CLI usage modes support direct commands, interactive prompting for required fields, and `--help` or `-h` on commands and subcommands.

### Why package nerds care

For package history, mdz is notable because it packages a finance-ledger developer workflow as a CLI rather than just a server stack. That makes an otherwise multi-service accounting platform approachable from Homebrew and shell automation.

### Timeline

- 2026: Official docs describe Midaz CLI as under development with configure, help, single-line, and interactive modes.
- 2026: The official GitHub releases page shows the v3.7.x release stream, including v3.7.8 in June.
