Configuration

Brummer supports hierarchical configuration through .brum.toml files. Configuration is loaded in the following order (later values override earlier ones):

  1. ~/.brum.toml (global user settings)

  2. Project root and parent directories (walking up to root)

  3. Current working directory .brum.toml

Viewing Current Configuration

# Show current settings with source files brum --settings # Create a configuration file from current settings brum --settings > .brum.example.toml

Configuration Options

Create a .brum.toml file in your project or home directory:

# Package manager preference preferred_package_manager = "pnpm" # npm, yarn, pnpm, bun # MCP Server settings mcp_port = 7777 no_mcp = false # Proxy settings proxy_port = 19888 proxy_mode = "reverse" # "reverse" or "full" proxy_url = "http://localhost:3000" # Optional: auto-proxy this URL standard_proxy = false no_proxy = false

Settings Tab

The Settings tab provides:

  • Package Manager Selection: Choose between npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun

  • MCP Server Installation: One-click installation for development tools:

    • Claude Desktop โœ“

    • Claude Code โœ“

    • Cursor โœ“

    • VSCode (with MCP extension) โœ“

MCP Hub Mode ๐Ÿ†•

Brummer Hub Mode enables MCP clients to discover and control multiple brummer instances through a single connection:

Quick Setup

  1. Configure your MCP client once:

    { "servers": { "brummer-hub": { "command": "brum", "args": ["--mcp"] } } }
  2. Run brummer in each project:

    cd ~/projects/frontend && brum cd ~/projects/backend && brum
  3. Use hub tools in your MCP client:

    • instances/list - See all running instances

    • instances/connect - Connect to a specific instance

    • All instance tools become available with prefixes

๐Ÿ“š Full Hub Mode Documentation

MCP Server Integration

The MCP server runs on port 7777 by default and implements the official MCP Streamable HTTP transport protocol:

Transport Protocol

Single Endpoint: http://localhost:7777/mcp

Connection Types:

  1. Standard JSON-RPC (POST with Accept: application/json)

  2. Server-Sent Events (GET with Accept: text/event-stream)

  3. SSE Response (POST with Accept: text/event-stream)

Example Connection

// SSE streaming connection const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:7777/mcp'); eventSource.onmessage = (event) => { const msg = JSON.parse(event.data); console.log('Received:', msg); }; // Send JSON-RPC requests fetch('http://localhost:7777/mcp', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: '2.0', id: 1, method: 'tools/list' }) });

Available Tools

Script Management: scripts_list, scripts_run, scripts_stop, scripts_status Log Management: logs_stream, logs_search Browser Tools: browser_open, browser_screenshot, browser_navigate, repl_execute Proxy Tools: proxy_requests Telemetry: telemetry_sessions, telemetry_events

Examples

Run in a specific directory

brum -d ~/projects/my-app

Run with custom MCP port

brum -p 8888

Run without MCP server (TUI only)

brum --no-mcp

Run in headless mode (MCP server only)

brum --no-tui
