# Sample configuration

Use this example configuration as a starting point. For an explanation of each field and additional context, see [Configuration](./config.md). Copy the snippet below to `~/.code/config.toml` and adjust values as needed.

```toml
# Hanzo Dev example configuration (config.toml)
#
# This file lists all keys Dev reads from config.toml, their default values,
# and concise explanations. Values here mirror the effective defaults compiled
# into the CLI. Adjust as needed.
#
# Notes
# - Root keys must appear before tables in TOML.
# - Optional keys that default to "unset" are shown commented out with notes.
# - MCP servers, profiles, and model providers are examples; remove or edit.
