# config
Manage CLI configuration (URL, API key).
## `config set-url`
Set the n8n instance URL.
```bash
n8n-cli config set-url https://my-n8n.app.n8n.cloud
n8n-cli config set-url http://localhost:5678
```
## `config set-api-key`
Set the API key for authentication.
```bash
n8n-cli config set-api-key n8n_api_xxxxx
```
The API key is stored in `~/.n8n-cli/config.json` with `0600` file permissions.
## `config show`
Show current configuration.
```bash
n8n-cli config show
# URL: https://my-n8n.app.n8n.cloud
# API Key: n8n_api_xxxx...xxxx
```
The API key is partially masked for security.
