Configuration
blnk stores its configuration in ~/.blnk/config/
:
config.yaml
- Main configuration file (edit this for changes)config.json
- Runtime configuration (automatically generated)mcp/*.json
- MCP server configurations
MCP Integration
blnk supports integration with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. While native MCP-reasoner support is planned for future releases, you can already configure and use MCP servers:
- Create a JSON config file in
~/.blnk/config/mcp/
(e.g.,default.json
) - Configure the server details:
{
"server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/mcp-reasoner/dist/index.js"],
"env": {}
}
}
Multiple MCP servers can be configured by creating additional JSON files in the mcp/
directory.
The configuration includes:
- Default API provider
- Model preferences
- API keys (securely stored)
- Token limits
- MCP settings
