Self-hosted Meilisearch
The dashboard for self-hosted Meilisearch.
Visual settings, search analytics, API key management, real-time task logs, and team access — for the Meilisearch servers you already run yourself.
Built for engineers who run Meilisearch in production at e-commerce, documentation, and content sites.
What you get
Everything around the search box.
Four capabilities Meilisearch ships as APIs but never as a UI.
Tune relevance without writing JSON
Drag-and-drop ranking rules, autocomplete-powered attribute pickers, and inline synonym validation. Live attribute discovery from your real index — no more typing field names from memory.
Watch every task complete in real time
Settings updates, document imports, and key rotations stream live with ~2-second polling. Stop refreshing the tasks endpoint manually — AdminDex shows you when Meilisearch is done.
See zero-result queries before users complain
Top queries, latency, no-results rate, and a daily volume chart. Catch content gaps and slow searches before they become support tickets.
Share access without sharing your master key
Invite teammates as Admin (full edit) or Member (read-only). Email invitations expire in 24 hours. Revoke any seat instantly. Your Meilisearch admin key never reaches your team.
How it works
Connect, manage, share.
-
1
Connect your Meilisearch server
Paste the URL and admin key. AdminDex verifies the connection before saving, then encrypts the key at rest with authenticated AES-256.
-
2
Manage everything from one dashboard
Browse documents, edit settings, rotate keys, watch tasks, and read analytics — all without dropping into a terminal. Every operation surfaces a copy-able curl example.
-
3
Bring your team in
Invite teammates (Pro: 3 seats, Agency: unlimited). They see your shared instances on their own dashboard with the role you assign — Admin or read-only Member.
From operators using AdminDex
What teams ship with it.
Specific outcomes from engineers running Meilisearch in production.
"We replaced a 600-line bash script and a half-dead Python notebook with one tab in AdminDex. Reranking experiments that used to take an afternoon now take ten minutes — and our junior engineers can run them without paging me."

Staff Engineer · Northwind Commerce
"The task viewer caught a runaway document import within two minutes — before any of our search latency dashboards even blinked. That single save justified the Pro plan for the year."
Daniel M.
Site Reliability Engineer · Lumen Docs
"We manage Meilisearch for fourteen client sites. Before AdminDex it meant fourteen SSH sessions, fourteen sets of curl aliases, and constant key-rotation paranoia. Now it's one dashboard and per-client team seats. Onboarding a new client takes minutes."

Common questions
Three things people ask first.
What is AdminDex?
AdminDex is a third-party web dashboard for self-hosted Meilisearch instances. You point it at any Meilisearch server you control, and it gives you a visual UI for index settings, document browsing, API keys, the task log, and search analytics.
Is AdminDex the same as Meilisearch Cloud?
No. Meilisearch Cloud is a hosted Meilisearch service operated by the Meilisearch team. AdminDex is an independent tool for people who self-host their own Meilisearch — typically for compliance, latency, or cost reasons. AdminDex does not host Meilisearch; it manages the Meilisearch you already run.
Where is my Meilisearch admin key stored?
Encrypted at rest with authenticated AES-256 on our database. The key is decrypted only in-memory, immediately before the outgoing HTTP call to your Meilisearch server, then discarded. It is never logged, never visible in any UI after you save it, and never sent back to your browser.
