mbx setup

• Usage: mbx setup [FLAGS]

Make plain Cargo commands run through mbx.

mbx installs a stable Cargo shim and prints its path. When you pick a mise scope, with a flag or at the prompt, mbx also adds a [wrappers.cargo] entry to that scope's mise configuration, if it has none, and runs mise reshim; this needs mise 2026.8.16 or newer. Without a mise scope, put the shim's directory first on PATH yourself; mbx never edits shell startup files.

mbx also writes check.overrideCommand to rust-analyzer's user rust-analyzer.toml so editor checks run through the shim, unless that file already has check settings of its own.

Flags

• --yes — Accept the recommended activation scope without prompting.

  MISE_CONFIG_FILE names the scope when it is set. Otherwise, in an activated mise shell, mbx picks the mise config whose tools include mr-boxington, then the nearest project mise config, then the global config; outside one, mbx installs the Cargo shim and edits no mise config. Cannot be combined with --global or --local.

• --global — Add mise's Cargo wrapper to the global mise configuration.

• --local — Add mise's Cargo wrapper to the current project's mise configuration.

• --status — Check that the Cargo shim and rust-analyzer check command are current.

  mbx checks what mbx setup writes and exits non-zero when any of it is missing or out of date. When a mise scope applies (--global, --local, MISE_CONFIG_FILE, or an activated mise shell), mbx also checks that the scope's config has the [wrappers.cargo] entry that mbx setup adds. Existing rust-analyzer check settings that mbx setup did not write count as a pass.

  The status does not show which cargo your shell runs, and it does not detect mise's native mr_boxington option. mbx doctor checks whether cargo on PATH resolves to the shim or mise's Cargo wrapper.

• --uninstall — Undo mbx setup for the selected scope, keeping the Cargo shim.

  The scope comes from --global, --local, MISE_CONFIG_FILE, or an activated mise shell, as for --status. mbx removes the [wrappers.cargo] entry that mbx setup added to that scope's mise config. For the global scope, or when no mise scope applies, mbx also removes the rust-analyzer check command that mbx setup wrote. For a project scope, mbx leaves that command for other scopes; remove it with mbx setup --global --uninstall.

• -h --help — Print help
