 Use the tool installation so aider doesn't interfere with your development environment
 
+## Configuration
+
+The documentation above contains the full set of allowed configuration options
+but I highly recommend using an `.aider.conf.yml` file. A good place to get started is:
+
+```yaml
+model: <model of your choice>
+agent: true
+analytics: false
+auto-commits: true
+auto-save: true
+auto-load: true
+check-update: true
+debug: false
+enable-context-compaction: true
+env-file: .aider.env
+multiline: true
+preserve-todo-list: true
+show-model-warnings: true
+watch-files: true
+agent-config: |
+  {
+    "large_file_token_threshold": 12500,
+    "skip_cli_confirmations": false
+  }
+mcp-servers: |
+  {
+    "mcpServers":
+      {
+        "context7":{
+          "transport":"http",
+          "url":"https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
+        }      
+      }   
+  }
+```
+
+Use the adjacent .aider.env file to store model api keys as environment variables, e.g:
+
+```
+ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
+GEMINI_API_KEY="..."
+OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
+OPENROUTER_API_KEY="..."
+DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="..."
+```
+
 ## Project Roadmap/Goals
 
 The current priorities are to improve core capabilities and user experience of the Aider project
