# Feature catalog — meteor/meteor

Scanned commit ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e (2026-09-22). Generated by codevetter codevetter 1.15.0 on 2026-10-02.

Source inspection; upstream code and tests were not executed.

The inspected user-facing surface combines CLI workflows with APIs used inside Meteor applications. Developers can scaffold multiple frontend stacks, run web/mobile targets, manage dependencies and platforms, build standalone artifacts, and request hosted deployment. Application authors receive reactive data replication, HTTP extension hooks, and password-based authentication.
- meteor create supports package creation, named examples, source repositories/branches/subdirectories, and skeleton options including React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Angular, TypeScript, Blaze, and Tailwind. — [tools/cli/commands.js#L722-758](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L722-L758) [tools/cli/commands.js#L1167-1238](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L1167-L1238)
- meteor run accepts additional run targets, extra packages, production-simulation mode, settings, architecture filtering, and optional browser opening; mobile targets trigger Cordova preparation unless disabled. — [tools/cli/commands.js#L482-507](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L482-L507) [tools/cli/commands.js#L534-619](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L534-L619)
- meteor build calls bundler.bundle with selected server/web architectures and development or production modes, then emits either a bundle directory or a compressed server tarball. — [tools/cli/commands.js#L1530-1577](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L1530-L1577)
- meteor deploy exposes deletion, settings, deployment token, owner, Mongo provisioning, plan/container size, cached builds, build-only mode, and optional deployment waiting. — [tools/cli/commands.js#L1980-2016](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L1980-L2016) [tools/cli/commands.js#L2092-2112](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands.js#L2092-L2112)
- meteor add requires an application and splits arguments into Meteor packages and Cordova plugins; plugin specifications accept exact versions, Git URLs with SHA references, or local paths. — [tools/cli/commands-packages.js#L2178-2191](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands-packages.js#L2178-L2191) [tools/cli/commands-packages.js#L2201-2223](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands-packages.js#L2201-L2223)
- add-platform and remove-platform prepare bundled dependencies before changing Cordova platforms; list-platforms reads and prints ProjectContext's installed platform list. — [tools/cli/commands-cordova.js#L117-156](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/ac3f471f4af5c8aec737e20ccd168bfc7cc1a49e/tools/cli/commands-cordova.js#L117-L156)
