# Memcached service commands

> Core sitectl Memcached operations and cache service inspection helpers.

Memcached is a core `sitectl` service namespace. Operators use `sitectl memcached ...` from any context whose <Compose /> project has a Memcached service.

## Status

Check the Memcached container state:

```bash theme={null}
sitectl memcached status
```

## Stats

Show Memcached stats from inside its container:

```bash theme={null}
sitectl memcached stats
```

Standalone Memcached Compose projects may still exist, but the shared command surface belongs to core `sitectl`, not to a dedicated Memcached CLI plugin.
