§02 Environment variables

CONFIG

Path to your configuration file

MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK

Set to 'true' to allow HTTP startup when config.json has static credentials. Otherwise the server refuses to start, preventing silent shared-identity fallback for unauthenticated requests.

MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES

Byte cap for content bodies (wikitext, rendered HTML, diffs) returned by get-page, get-pages, parse-wikitext, and compare-pages. Oversized bodies are truncated with a trailing marker.

MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Minimum severity for logger output (stderr telemetry and sendLoggingMessage broadcast). Invalid values fail loudly on first log call.

MCP_MAX_REQUEST_BODY

Maximum HTTP request body size on the StreamableHTTP transport. Accepts size strings like 1mb or 512kb.

MCP_METRICS

Set to 'true' to expose Prometheus metrics at GET /metrics on the HTTP transport. Has no effect on the stdio transport.

MCP_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS_FILE

Override the default OAuth credentials store path. Default: ~/.config/mediawiki-mcp/credentials.json on Linux/macOS, %APPDATA%\mediawiki-mcp\credentials.json on Windows.

MCP_OAUTH_NO_BROWSER

Set to '1' to skip launching a browser during the OAuth dance and log the auth URL to stderr instead. Useful in headless environments and CI.

MCP_PUBLIC_URL

Override the request-derived public URL used in the protected-resource discovery doc and WWW-Authenticate header. Set this when running behind a proxy that rewrites the request Host.

MCP_SHUTDOWN_GRACE_MS

Maximum milliseconds to wait for in-flight /mcp calls to drain on SIGTERM/SIGINT before exiting. Capped at 600000.

MCP_TRANSPORT

Type of MCP server transport

PORT

Port used for StreamableHTTP transport
