AI-Assisted Configuration¶
The configuration assistant is available across Claude Code (via the built-in MCP server), Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Continue.dev, and any LLM that accepts a file or URL upload. All methods draw from the same skill document at docs/shared/llm-skills/configuration-assistant.md, which is self-contained: it covers every config section, validation rules, common mistakes, and a CLI quick reference.
Install methods¶
| Method | Availability | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in MCP server | Yes, in the default build | claude mcp add continuum-router-config -- continuum-router mcp-serve |
| Raw skill doc URL | Yes | Paste URL into any LLM |
| IDE rule files | Yes | Clone repo (files auto-loaded) |
| Claude Projects / Custom GPTs | Yes | Upload skill doc + templates as knowledge |
Built-in MCP server¶
The mcp feature is enabled in the default build. Once registered, Claude Code gains access to the full skill document and config templates as MCP resources. The server exposes the skill doc and every file under docs/shared/llm-skills/config-templates/ as readable resources, so Claude Code can answer questions and generate config snippets without a copy of the repository.
For safety, MCP tools never resolve ${ENV} placeholders against the MCP server process environment. Use the local continuum-router config validate CLI to validate the fields that explicitly support environment references against the router's shell environment.
Raw skill doc URL (zero-install)¶
The skill document is available at:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lablup/continuum-router/main/docs/shared/llm-skills/configuration-assistant.md
Paste this URL into any LLM that supports file or URL uploads, or supply it to any MCP filesystem server. The document is self-contained and covers all 35 config sections (33 always-on and 2 feature-gated), backend types, validation rules, and the CLI.
IDE rule files¶
Four rule files are committed to the repository and auto-loaded by their respective IDEs when you open the project:
.claude/rules/config-assistant.md(Claude Code).cursor/rules/continuum-router-config.mdc(Cursor).github/copilot-instructions.md(GitHub Copilot).continue/rules/continuum-router-config.md(Continue.dev)
Each file contains a condensed rules summary with the schema version, required sections, six most common mistakes, key validation rules, and CLI quick reference. They are generated from the skill document and should not be edited directly.
To regenerate them after updating the skill document:
Claude Projects / Custom GPTs¶
Upload docs/shared/llm-skills/configuration-assistant.md and the files under docs/shared/llm-skills/config-templates/ as project knowledge. The assistant will have access to the full reference and all starter templates.
