WorkbenchLM

WorkbenchLM is Meko's built-in chat experience in the Meko portal. Use it to try memory, knowledge, and traces without configuring Cursor, Claude, or another external MCP client.

When the composer is disabled, the banner shows the conversations or WorkbenchLM tokens you have used. On Free, choose Upgrade to Standard. On Standard, choose Talk to our team. See Reach a tier limit.

When to use WorkbenchLM

• First session: Onboarding offers Try the WorkbenchLM so you can explore a sample knowledge base and see memories form in real time.
• Quick experiments: Upload a document, ask questions, and inspect traces and memories from the same UI.
• No local install: WorkbenchLM runs entirely in the portal; you do not need to set up an MCP server with an MCP config file or run the installer.

Use WorkbenchLM

1. Sign in to your account.

   The first time you sign in, Meko displays the Welcome to Meko page.

2. Click Try the WorkbenchLM.

If it is not your first time signing in, do the following:

1. Sign in to the Meko portal.
2. Select WorkbenchLM in the left sidebar.

What you can do

• Pick a datapack: Select a datapack from the menu in the header. The list includes datapacks you own and datapacks shared with you as Maintainer or Contributor. (Viewer-only datapacks are not listed, because chat writes memories.) You can also search for datapacks by name or role. If you don't have any datapacks, the picker says No datapacks available. A search with no hits says No matching datapacks.
• Open WorkbenchLM from a datapack: On any datapack page, open the actions menu (the gear next to Share) and choose Open WorkbenchLM. That item appears only when you can chat with the datapack, and WorkbenchLM opens with that datapack selected.
• Knowledge: Upload or manage knowledge-base documents in the left panel. Chat is available after a document has finished indexing.
• Chat: Send messages in the center panel. WorkbenchLM can call Meko tools while it answers. A read runs immediately. Saving a memory does too. Deleting a memory, promoting a memory, or updating the datapack waits until you choose Allow. Deny leaves it unchanged.
• Live observation: The right panel shows memories, shared knowledge, and conversations, updated as you chat.
• Traces: Expand Decision trace above each reply, or click View execution trace under it to view decision traces. See Observability.

WorkbenchLM vs Choose your tool (via external MCP clients)

External clients authenticate with an API key. WorkbenchLM uses your signed-in session and server-side credentials for the selected datapack — you don't need to provide an API key to use WorkbenchLM.
