Configuration

config command

testrelic config set baseUrl https://stage.testrelic.ai/api/v1
testrelic config set statusLine "<your-statusline-command>"

File locations

Path	Purpose
~/.testrelic/cookies.json	Persisted session cookies (from testrelic login).
~/.testrelic/token	Personal access token, if you store it on disk.
~/.testrelic/mcp.json	Global MCP server config.
./.mcp.json	Project MCP server config (wins on name collisions).

The ~/.testrelic/ directory and its mcp.json + token are shared with @testrelic/mcp, so a token you already use for MCP works here too.

Backend URL

The CLI defaults to production. Override it three ways — see Authentication:

testrelic config set baseUrl https://stage.testrelic.ai/api/v1   # persisted
testrelic --base-url https://stage.testrelic.ai/api/v1           # per-invocation
export TESTRELIC_CLOUD_URL=https://stage.testrelic.ai/api/v1     # environment

Appearance & editing

• /theme — switch between dark, light, and ascii themes.
• /vim — toggle vim editing mode.
• /keybindings — view and customize keybindings.
• testrelic config set statusLine <cmd> — render your own statusline script.

Terminal notes (Windows)

• Built for Windows Terminal; legacy conhost falls back to an ASCII glyph set.
• Key handling filters key-press events (Windows also delivers release events).

Diagnostics

testrelic doctor
