Server settings control how the HTTP server runs, including network binding, API endpoints, and cross-origin requests.

Configuration

# .systemprompt/profiles/local/profile.yaml
server:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 8080
  api_server_url: "http://localhost:8080"
  api_internal_url: "http://localhost:8080"
  api_external_url: "http://localhost:8080"
  use_https: false
  cors_allowed_origins:
    - "http://localhost:8080"
    - "http://localhost:5173"

Fields

Field	Required	Description
`host`	Yes	Network interface to bind (`127.0.0.1` or `0.0.0.0`)
`port`	Yes	TCP port (must be > 0)
`api_server_url`	Yes	Primary API endpoint
`api_internal_url`	Yes	Internal service-to-service URL
`api_external_url`	Yes	Public URL for external clients
`use_https`	No	Enable HTTPS (default: false)
`cors_allowed_origins`	No	Allowed CORS origins

The 3 API URLs

systemprompt.io uses three distinct URLs:

URL	Purpose	Example
`api_server_url`	Primary API	`http://localhost:8080`
`api_internal_url`	Service-to-service	`http://app.internal:8080`
`api_external_url`	Public access, OAuth callbacks	`https://api.example.com`

CORS Configuration

Allow frontend applications to make API requests:

server:
  cors_allowed_origins:
    - "http://localhost:5173"      # Vite dev server
    - "https://app.example.com"    # Production frontend

CORS Rules

Each origin must start with http:// or https://
No trailing slashes
No wildcards (*)

Production Example

server:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 8080
  api_server_url: "https://api.example.com"
  api_internal_url: "http://app.internal:8080"
  api_external_url: "https://api.example.com"
  use_https: false                    # TLS at load balancer
  cors_allowed_origins:
    - "https://app.example.com"
