Configuration

Configure Argus MCP with YAML config files for backends, authentication, middleware, and operational settings.

Argus MCP uses a structured YAML configuration file to define backends, authentication, middleware, and operational settings.

This section covers all configuration topics:

  • Overview -- File format, config structure, variable expansion, and server settings.
  • Backends -- Backend types (stdio, SSE, streamable-http), timeouts, filters, and tool overrides.
  • Container Isolation -- Automatic container isolation for stdio backends.
  • Authentication -- Incoming client authentication modes.
  • Authorization -- RBAC policy enforcement.
  • Secrets Management -- Encrypted secret store and providers.
