Scout configuration reference

Scout profiles store non-secret local settings. Credentials use the operating system credential store or environment variables.

Inspect Profiles

scout config show
scout config path
scout config profiles

Create and activate a profile:

scout config create-profile studio
scout config use-profile studio

Use a profile for one command:

scout --profile studio run https://example.org

Model Provider

scout config model
scout config model --interactive
scout config model --provider lmstudio --model local-model-name

Use scout config model when doctor reports model problems.

Scalar Settings

Use scout config set for known scalar values:

scout config set scraper.max_concurrent_fetches 6
scout config set scraper.browser_fallback_enabled false
scout config set scraper.max_browser_renders_per_run 8
scout config set scraper.max_browser_concurrent 1

Use scout config get to inspect one setting:

scout config get llm.provider

scout config set does not save API keys, login tokens, or structured schedule targets.

Credentials

Credential	Normal command	Script override
Atlas login	`scout login`	`ATLAS_API_KEY`
Search-backed discovery	`scout search connect`	`SEARCH_API_KEY`

Do not put secrets in profile TOML files.

scout config schedule set --enabled --cron "0 8 * * 1"
scout config schedule target add --location "Austin, TX" --issues housing_affordability,transportation
scout config schedule target list
