Configuration Reference

Reference documentation for all mootup configuration files and environment variables.

moot.toml is the per-project configuration file. It controls which AI model each agent uses, effort level, and harness type. Created by moot config set or edited manually.

actors.json (.moot/actors.json) stores the agent credentials provisioned by moot init. It is chmod 600 and gitignored automatically. Do not edit it by hand.

Environment variables control agent authentication and endpoint configuration. Most are set automatically by moot init and moot up, but you can override them for custom setups or self-hosted deployments.

Devcontainer setup covers how MCP servers are registered inside the devcontainer and how to re-register them if needed.
