# Settings

Qoder Plugin provides two categories of settings:

* **Your Settings:** For customizing your experience with rules, MCP, and memory settings.
* **Plugin Settings:** For controlling plugin features like the response language, auto-run behavior, and updates and more.

## **Your settings**

You can access and manage your configurations by navigating to the **Your Settings** panel. To do this, open the Qoder **Chat** panel, click the dropdown menu in the top-right corner, and select **Your Settings**.

This panel allows you to view and manage the following:

* **MCP Servers:** Manage your MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tools. This section allows you to:
  * Install new MCP tools to connect with external systems.
  * Modify or remove existing server configurations as needed.
* **Memory:** This section provides insight into the memories Qoder has built based on your interactions. You can review what Qoder has learned, including:

  * Your personal coding habits, coding style and more.
  * Contextual information and key architectural details of the current project.

  Additionally, it offers simple memory management operations, such as disabling automatic learning and clearing stored memories.
* **Rules:** Define and manage project-specific rules to guide Qoder's behavior. These rules ensure that its suggestions and actions align with your coding standards and architectural patterns. You can:
  * Add multiple rules for the current project.
  * Modify or delete existing rules.
* **Codebase Indexing:** Monitor and control how Qoder analyzes your project's codebase. In this section, you can:
  * Check the real-time progress of codebase indexing.
  * Configure which files and directories to ignore, optimizing performance and ensuring Qoder focuses only on relevant code.
