Quick start
MistLab brings the terminal, team documentation, and access controls into one workspace. The first setup takes four steps.
- Create a team in the Portal.
- Install MistTerm on your workstation.
- Connect a server using SSH or a team agent.
- Invite collaborators and write the first runbook in MistDocs.
Keep production access behind team roles and review the command audit before granting broader permissions.
Install MistTerm
MistTerm is the desktop terminal for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the latest release, then sign in with your MistLab account.

Add your first server
- Open the server manager and choose Add server.
- Enter the hostname, port, and SSH username.
- Use an existing key or issue a short-lived certificate from the team CA.
- Connect and confirm the host fingerprint.
Build your team workspace
Use the Portal to keep access and operational knowledge together.
- Assign admin, editor, or viewer roles to each member.
- Store repeatable commands as reviewed team snippets.
- Write deployment and incident runbooks in MistDocs.
- Share a document externally with a time-limited or password-protected link.
Review command audit
Command audit records execution context and applies the team's risk policy. Use the dashboard to scan trends, high-risk commands, active hosts, and individual logs.
- Open Audit from the Portal navigation.
- Choose a team and time range.
- Filter logs by action or search for a command.
- Inspect the risk explanation before approving a sensitive operation.
What's next
Once the basics are working, configure SSH certificate authority, add a deployment runbook, and connect a webhook for critical audit events.
