# Configuration
|
|
|
|
Taskmaster uses two primary methods for configuration:
|
|
|
|
1. **`.taskmasterconfig` File (Project Root - Recommended for most settings)**
|
|
|
|
- This JSON file stores most configuration settings, including AI model selections, parameters, logging levels, and project defaults.
|
|
- **Location:** This file is created in the root directory of your project when you run the `task-master models --setup` interactive setup. You typically do this during the initialization sequence. Do not manually edit this file beyond adjusting Temperature and Max Tokens depending on your model.
|
|
- **Management:** Use the `task-master models --setup` command (or `models` MCP tool) to interactively create and manage this file. You can also set specific models directly using `task-master models --set-<role>=<model_id>`, adding `--ollama` or `--openrouter` flags for custom models. Manual editing is possible but not recommended unless you understand the structure.
|
|
- **Example Structure:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"models": {
|
|
"main": {
|
|
"provider": "anthropic",
|
|
"modelId": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
|
|
"maxTokens": 64000,
|
|
"temperature": 0.2,
|
|
"baseUrl": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1"
|
|
},
|
|
"research": {
|
|
"provider": "perplexity",
|
|
"modelId": "sonar-pro",
|
|
"maxTokens": 8700,
|
|
"temperature": 0.1,
|
|
"baseUrl": "https://api.perplexity.ai/v1"
|
|
},
|
|
"fallback": {
|
|
"provider": "anthropic",
|
|
"modelId": "claude-3-5-sonnet",
|
|
"maxTokens": 64000,
|
|
"temperature": 0.2
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"global": {
|
|
"logLevel": "info",
|
|
"debug": false,
|
|
"defaultSubtasks": 5,
|
|
"defaultPriority": "medium",
|
|
"projectName": "Your Project Name",
|
|
"ollamaBaseUrl": "http://localhost:11434/api",
|
|
"azureOpenaiBaseUrl": "https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Environment Variables (`.env` file or MCP `env` block - For API Keys Only)**
|
|
- Used **exclusively** for sensitive API keys and specific endpoint URLs.
|
|
- **Location:**
|
|
- For CLI usage: Create a `.env` file in your project root.
|
|
- For MCP/Cursor usage: Configure keys in the `env` section of your `.cursor/mcp.json` file.
|
|
- **Required API Keys (Depending on configured providers):**
|
|
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Anthropic API key.
|
|
- `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`: Your Perplexity API key.
|
|
- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your OpenAI API key.
|
|
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`: Your Google API key.
|
|
- `MISTRAL_API_KEY`: Your Mistral API key.
|
|
- `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your Azure OpenAI API key (also requires `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`).
|
|
- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`: Your OpenRouter API key.
|
|
- `XAI_API_KEY`: Your X-AI API key.
|
|
- **Optional Endpoint Overrides:**
|
|
- **Per-role `baseUrl` in `.taskmasterconfig`:** You can add a `baseUrl` property to any model role (`main`, `research`, `fallback`) to override the default API endpoint for that provider. If omitted, the provider's standard endpoint is used.
|
|
- `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`: Required if using Azure OpenAI key (can also be set as `baseUrl` for the Azure model role).
|
|
- `OLLAMA_BASE_URL`: Override the default Ollama API URL (Default: `http://localhost:11434/api`).
|
|
|
|
**Important:** Settings like model ID selections (`main`, `research`, `fallback`), `maxTokens`, `temperature`, `logLevel`, `defaultSubtasks`, `defaultPriority`, and `projectName` are **managed in `.taskmasterconfig`**, not environment variables.
|
|
|
|
## Example `.env` File (for API Keys)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Required API keys for providers configured in .taskmasterconfig
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-your-key-here
|
|
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=pplx-your-key-here
|
|
# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
|
|
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIzaSy...
|
|
# etc.
|
|
|
|
# Optional Endpoint Overrides
|
|
# AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=https://your-azure-endpoint.openai.azure.com/
|
|
# OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://custom-ollama-host:11434/api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Errors
|
|
|
|
- If Task Master reports errors about missing configuration or cannot find `.taskmasterconfig`, run `task-master models --setup` in your project root to create or repair the file.
|
|
- Ensure API keys are correctly placed in your `.env` file (for CLI) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (for MCP) and are valid for the providers selected in `.taskmasterconfig`.
|
|
|
|
### If `task-master init` doesn't respond:
|
|
|
|
Try running it with Node directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node node_modules/claude-task-master/scripts/init.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or clone the repository and run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master.git
|
|
cd claude-task-master
|
|
node scripts/init.js
|
|
```
