/configure

The /configure command manages EigenData-CLI settings. You can update your API key, MCP server URL, and schema file path. For initial setup, see Getting Started.

Settings

Settings are organized into two groups: Global settings are stored in ~/.eigendata/settings.yaml and apply across all projects.

Setting	Description	Required	Clearable
`api_key`	EigenData API key for authentication	Yes	No

Project settings are stored in ./eigendataDB/config/user_config.yaml and apply to the current project.

Setting	Description	Required	Clearable
`mcp_server_url`	MCP server URL for schema source	No	Yes
`schema_file`	Path to local schema file (JSON/YAML)	No	Yes

mcp_server_url and schema_file can be cleared by entering - as the value.

Other settings like reference document and sample count are configured per task during command execution, not through /configure. See Domain & Reference Document for details.

Interactive configuration

Run the configure command without arguments to see all available settings:

eigendata> /configure

The CLI displays two tables — global and project settings — followed by a numbered menu:

Global Settings (stored in ~/.eigendata/)
# Key          Value
1 api_key      sk-xxxx…xxxx

Project Settings (stored in ./eigendataDB/)
# Key             Value
2 mcp_server_url  http://localhost:8000
3 schema_file     ./my_functions.json

Select a setting to update (or 'q' to cancel):

Step 2 — Select and update a setting

Enter the number of the setting you want to change:

Select a setting to update (or 'q' to cancel): 2

MCP Server URL
Example: http://127.0.0.1:8000
Type '-' to clear

> http://192.168.1.100:8000

The CLI confirms the update:

✓ Updated mcp_server_url

Direct configuration

You can also configure settings directly without the interactive menu.

View current value

Pass the setting name to see its current value:

eigendata> /configure api_key

api_key: sk-****...****

Set a new value

Pass both the setting name and new value:

eigendata> /configure mcp_server_url http://localhost:9000

✓ mcp_server_url updated to: http://localhost:9000

Clear an optional setting

Use - to clear optional settings:

eigendata> /configure mcp_server_url -

✓ Updated mcp_server_url

Environment Variables

You can set API key via environment variable:

Environment Variable	Setting
`EIGENDATA_API_KEY`	`api_key`

Environment variables are read at startup. Settings configured via /configure take precedence.
