Optimization is achieved through the smart configuration mechanism of manifest.json:
- Declarative Configuration: Developers predefine the required configuration items (e.g. API Key).
- Auto-generated configuration interface: Claude Desktop automatically presents input forms based on declarations
- Secure storage: Sensitive information is encrypted and stored in the system key chain
- Transparent Passing: Automatically passed to extensions via environment variables
This mechanism ensures flexibility in configuration while hiding the technical details from the user, providing a consistent and friendly configuration experience.
