# Verify Local Config Before Claims > Verify repository configuration locally before making conclusions about MCP/server setup. Use when asked to diagnose configuration, profile routing, auth behavior, endpoints, env vars, or profile IDs/aliases in this workspace.

Inspect local source of truth before answering. - Read relevant profile files under `profiles/`. - Check transport and auth behavior in `src/transport/http-transport.ts` and related docs. - Verify route format and profile selection from `README.md` and `docs/HTTP-TRANSPORT.md`. 2. Confirm claims with concrete evidence. - Cite exact file paths and key values (profile id, aliases, auth type, env var names, endpoint paths). - Prefer direct file reads over memory or assumptions. 3. Distinguish static config from runtime prerequisites. - State whether config syntax is valid. - Separately list runtime conditions required for it to work (enabled transport mode, env vars set, profile routing on). 4. Resolve conflicts explicitly. - If docs and code differ, prioritize code and note the discrepancy. - If multiple profiles exist, identify which one matches the user snippet. 5. Avoid speculative diagnoses. - Do not claim a field is wrong unless a local check confirms it. - When unsure, run one more targeted file check before concluding. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/davidruzicka) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
