Config-as-code (~/.config/prufa/mcp.json)
If you'd rather not pass credentials through env vars, drop a JSON file at
~/.config/prufa/mcp.json (honors XDG_CONFIG_HOME; PRUFA_CONFIG overrides
the path):
{
"api_token": "your-prufa-api-key",
"api_base": "https://app.prufa.dev"
}
Environment variables take precedence over the file, so PRUFA_API_TOKEN /
PRUFA_API_BASE always win when set. Both keys are optional โ api_base
defaults to the hosted API. A malformed file is ignored with a warning on
stderr rather than crashing the server.
