Choose Your Mirth Connect Workflow

Three tools, one file structure. Pick the right tool for the task — or use all three.

Visual Interface

Use the Plugin When:

  • You're already working in the Admin Console
  • You prefer visual interfaces over command-line tools
  • You need to review changes and diffs visually
  • You want embedded Git without external installation
  • You're making ad-hoc configuration changes
Command Line

Use the CLI When:

  • You're automating in CI/CD pipelines
  • You need to script operations or integrate with other tools
  • You prefer command-line workflows
  • You're running scheduled or batch operations
IDE

Use VS Code When:

  • You want IntelliSense and autocomplete for Mirth JavaScript
  • You need real-time code diagnostics and security linting
  • You want Java debugging for channel logic
  • You prefer editing in a modern IDE with Git integration
  • You need multi-cursor editing and search across channels
  • You want tree view browsing of channels and templates
  • You want 28 code snippets for common Mirth patterns

Fully Compatible: All three tools work with the same MirthSync file structure. Use VS Code for daily development, the CLI for automation, and the Plugin for admin tasks — they're fully interchangeable.
