## Auto Enabling

mypy will be auto-enabled if any of its config files are present: *`mypy.ini`, `.mypy.ini`*.

## Settings

mypy supports the following config files:

* `mypy.ini`
* `.mypy.ini`

You can move these files to `.trunk/configs` and `trunk check` will still find them. See [Moving Linters](../configure-linters#moving-linters) for more info.
