+# Configuring Kodrdriv via MCP
+
+Kodrdriv supports first-class configuration through Model Context Protocol (MCP), powered by [CardiganTime](https://utilarium.github.io/cardigantime/). This allows AI assistants to configure Kodrdriv directly through MCP invocations without needing configuration files.
+
+## Overview
+
+When Kodrdriv is invoked via MCP, configuration can be provided in three ways (in priority order):
+
+1. **MCP Configuration** - Provided in the MCP server configuration (highest priority)
+2. **File-Based Configuration** - Discovered from the working directory
+3. **Default Configuration** - Built-in defaults
+
+## The Simplifying Assumption
+
+**If MCP configuration is provided, it is the complete configuration.**
+
+This means:
+- MCP config takes exclusive precedence
+- No merging with file-based config
+- No fallback to file config
+- Predictable and debuggable behavior
+
+## Basic MCP Configuration
+
+### Cursor MCP Configuration
+
+Add Kodrdriv to your `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kodrdriv": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["/Users/tobrien/gitw/grunnverk/kodrdriv/dist/mcp-server.js"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This basic configuration uses file-based configuration discovery. Kodrdriv will look for `.kodrdriv.yaml`, `.kodrdriv.json`, or other configuration files in your project directory.
+
+## Advanced MCP Configuration
+
+To provide configuration directly through MCP (bypassing file-based configuration), add a `config` field:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kodrdriv": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["/Users/tobrien/gitw/grunnverk/kodrdriv/dist/mcp-server.js"],
+      "config": {
+        "dryRun": false,
+        "verbose": true,
+        "model": "gpt-4o",
+        "commit": {
+          "messageLimit": 100,
+          "maxAgenticIterations": 5,
+          "selfReflection": true
+        },
+        "release": {
+          "messageLimit": 150,
+          "maxAgenticIterations": 3
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+**Note**: The workspace configuration affects MCP resources like `kodrdriv://workspace`, `kodrdriv://tree-graph`, and `kodrdriv://package` by filtering out directories that match the exclusion patterns when scanning for packages. This is particularly useful in monorepos where documentation sites or test fixtures contain `package.json` files but shouldn't be treated as workspace packages.

+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Priority Model
+
+```
+MCP Config Present?
+  ├─ YES → Use MCP config exclusively
+  └─ NO → Discover from files
+      ├─ Working directory?
+      │   ├─ YES → Start discovery from working directory
+      │   └─ NO → Use current directory
+      └─ Walk up directory tree looking for config files
+```
+
+## File-Based Fallback
+
+When MCP config is not provided, Kodrdriv discovers configuration files in this order:
+
+1. `.kodrdriv.yaml` or `.kodrdriv.yml`
+2. `.kodrdriv.json`
+3. `kodrdriv.yaml` or `kodrdriv.yml`
+4. `kodrdriv.json`
+5. User config at `~/.kodrdriv/`
+
+## CheckConfig Tool
+
+Every Kodrdriv MCP tool automatically includes the `check_config` tool for inspecting configuration.
+
+### Usage
+
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "check_config",
+  "input": {
+    "verbose": true,
+    "includeConfig": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Output
+
+```json
+{
+  "source": "mcp",
+  "hierarchical": false,
+  "config": {
+    "model": "gpt-4o",
+    "commit": {
+      "messageLimit": 100
+    }
+  },
+  "summary": "Configuration loaded from MCP invocation"
+}
+```
+
+### When to Use CheckConfig
+
+- **Debugging**: When Kodrdriv isn't behaving as expected
+- **Verification**: To confirm MCP config is being used
+- **Discovery**: To see which config files were found
+- **Documentation**: To understand the current configuration
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### For Users
+
+1. **Start with MCP config** - Simpler than file-based for MCP tools
+2. **Use CheckConfig** - To verify your configuration
+3. **Keep it simple** - Only configure what you need to change
+4. **Test incrementally** - Add config options one at a time
+5. **Use defaults** - Kodrdriv has sensible defaults for most options
+
+### For AI Assistants
+
+1. **Use CheckConfig first** - When debugging configuration issues
+2. **Check verbose output** - To understand hierarchical merging
+3. **Verify MCP config** - Confirm it's being used when expected
+4. **Guide users** - Help them understand configuration sources
+5. **Respect dry-run** - Always check `dryRun` setting before making changes
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I use both MCP and file config?
+
+No. If MCP config is provided, it's used exclusively. This is the "simplifying assumption" that makes configuration predictable.
+
+### How do I know which config is being used?
+
+Use the `check_config` tool. It shows the source (`mcp`, `file`, or `defaults`) and the actual configuration values.
+
+### What happens if MCP config is invalid?
+
+The tool throws a validation error with detailed information about what's wrong. Use CheckConfig to verify your configuration before running tools.
+
+### Can I override just one field via MCP?
+
+No. MCP config must be complete. If you provide MCP config, it replaces all file-based config. This prevents confusion about which values come from where.
+
+### How do I migrate from file-based to MCP config?
+
+1. Use CheckConfig to see your current file-based config
+2. Copy the configuration values
+3. Convert to JSON format
+4. Add to your MCP server configuration in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
+5. Optionally remove file-based config files
+
+### Where should I put my MCP configuration?
+
+For Cursor, add it to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. For other MCP clients, consult their documentation for the MCP server configuration file location.

+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Sensitive Values
+
+CheckConfig automatically sanitizes sensitive configuration values:
+
+- `password`, `secret`, `token`
+- `apiKey`, `api_key`
+- `auth`, `credential`
+- `privateKey`, `private_key`
+- `accessKey`, `access_key`
+
+These are replaced with `"***"` in CheckConfig output.
+
+### Validation
+
+All MCP configuration is validated against the Zod schema before use. Invalid configuration will throw an error with detailed validation messages.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### MCP Config Not Working
+
+**Symptoms**: You added MCP config but Kodrdriv uses file config
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Run `check_config` to verify the source
+2. Check that your `mcp.json` has the `config` field
+3. Verify the JSON syntax is valid
+4. Restart your MCP client (Cursor)
+
+### Configuration Validation Errors
+
+**Symptoms**: Kodrdriv throws validation errors
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check the error message for specific field issues
+2. Verify field types match the schema (boolean, string, number, etc.)
+3. Check enum values (e.g., `openaiReasoning` must be "low", "medium", or "high")
+4. Use CheckConfig to see the current configuration
+
+### Wrong Configuration Being Used
+
+**Symptoms**: Kodrdriv uses unexpected configuration values
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Run `check_config` with `verbose: true`
+2. Check if MCP config is being used (`source: "mcp"`)
+3. If file-based, check which files are being loaded
+4. Remove or update conflicting configuration files
