The Master Person Index (formerly Master Veteran Index, so mvi is used as a key for settings purposes) service retrieves and updates a veteran's 'golden
record'. To configure vets-api for use with MPI, configure
config/settings.local.yml with the settings given to you by devops or your
team. For example,
# config/settings.local.yml
mvi:
url: ...
Since that URL is only accessible over the VA VPN a mock service is included in
the project. To enable it, add this to config/settings.local.yml:
mvi:
mock: true
