Before digging deeper, please try run the command with the relax option --lax to see whether this ignores the missing .mf file.

Were you able to figure it out?

"vi://"root:password"@WIN-1VPBHEDRE5

M/dc1/host/10.110.209.214"

You have to provide the credentials for vCenter and vCenter name and then hostname for the target string.
