Prefect Community

Another question, if I run a local agent, how can I specify the URL for the prefect API i wish to connect to, if it does not run on the local server? (not using prefect cloud)

Hi <@U014YLBG8JW> - glad you found 'prefect backend server' to fix your other question.

To set the URL you'll need to set graphql_url in your config.toml

Nicholas's blog post here has a good example:
