station-config

name	station-config
description	Configure Station CLI settings via browser UI or command line. Use `stn config --browser` for visual editor or `stn config set/show` for CLI operations.

Station Configuration

Configure Station settings including AI provider, coding backend, CloudShip integration, and more.

Browser-Based Configuration (Recommended)

The easiest way to configure Station is via the browser UI:

# Opens browser-based config editor
# Automatically starts server if not running
stn config --browser

This opens a visual editor with:

• All configuration sections organized
• Conditional fields (e.g., backend-specific settings only show for selected backend)
• Secret fields with show/hide toggle
• Validation and defaults

Common Workflows

Initial Setup

# Configure AI provider
stn config set ai_provider anthropic
stn config set ai_model claude-sonnet-4-20250514

# Or use browser for full setup
stn config --browser

Connect to CloudShip

stn config set cloudship.api_key cst_your_api_key
stn config set cloudship.registration_key your_reg_key
stn config set cloudship.name my-station

Change Coding Backend

# Switch to OpenCode with NATS
stn config set coding.backend opencode-nats
stn config set coding.nats.url nats://localhost:4222

# Or use Claude Code
stn config set coding.backend claudecode
stn config set coding.claudecode.model opus

Config File Location

Default: ~/.config/station/config.yaml

Override with --config flag or STN_CONFIG environment variable.
