API keys

You need at least one API key — either Anthropic or OpenAI. If you’re using a custom endpoint, no API key is required (or you can set one during kong setup if your endpoint requires authentication). 
# Set your API key(s)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-api03-..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
Add these to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc) so they persist across sessions.

​
Ghidra and JDK auto-detection

Kong searches common installation paths for Ghidra and JDK. You only need to set GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR and JAVA_HOME if:
  • You installed Ghidra in a non-standard location
  • Auto-detection picks the wrong version
  • You’re running in a container or CI environment
export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/ghidra_11.3"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk"

​
Config directory

Kong stores its configuration (enabled providers, default provider, custom endpoint settings) in an SQLite database at ~/.config/kong/config.db. Override the location: 
export KONG_CONFIG_DIR="/path/to/custom/config"
