Bearer token for MCP client authentication. Must match the Authorization header sent by clients. Generate with: openssl rand -hex 32Required
Environment variable: MCP_AUTH_TOKEN
Public URL clients use to reach this server. Used as the OAuth issuer URL in discovery metadata. Override when exposing the server outside localhost or on a non-default port.Optional
Environment variable: PUBLIC_URL
Enable or disable the embedding pipeline. When false, no ONNX model is downloaded, no vector tables are created, and search uses FTS5 only.Optional
Environment variable: EMBEDDING_ENABLED
Cross-encoder reranking mode: blended (position-aware score blending after RRF fusion) or none (skip reranking). Only takes effect when EMBEDDING_ENABLED is true.Optional
Environment variable: RERANK_MODE
Windows bind-mount mode: enables filesystem polling for the file watcher and rename-based moves across the Docker Desktop/WSL2 bridge. Set to true when the vault lives on a Windows drive.Optional
Environment variable: WINDOWS_MODE
Enable or disable the structured memory layer. When false, memory tools are hidden, bootstrap is skipped, and server metadata omits memory references.Optional
Environment variable: MEMORY_ENABLED
Enable or disable file tools (vault_read_file, vault_list_files). When false, file tools are hidden and server metadata omits file tool references.Optional
Environment variable: FILE_TOOLS_ENABLED
Run the server read-only: every vault-writing tool is hidden, the memory folder is not auto-created, and server metadata omits write references.Optional
Environment variable: READONLY_MODE
Hide individual tools by name, comma-separated. Subtractive only — it cannot re-enable a tool another setting hides; an unknown tool name stops the server at startup.Optional
Environment variable: DISABLED_TOOLS
Vault folder for structured memory files (About Me-style notes). Memory tools are hidden when MEMORY_ENABLED is false, but this value still feeds the defaults for PROTECTED_PATHS and ORPHAN_EXCLUDE_FOLDERS.Optional
Environment variable: MEMORY_DIR
Vault folder for daily notes. Overrides the folder configured in Obsidian's daily-notes plugin. When unset, read from the vault's .obsidian/daily-notes.json, falling back to "Daily Notes".Optional
Environment variable: DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER
Filename date format for daily notes (Moment.js tokens). Overrides the format configured in Obsidian's daily-notes plugin. When unset, read from the vault's .obsidian/daily-notes.json, falling back to "YYYY-MM-DD".Optional
Environment variable: DAILY_NOTES_FORMAT
Number of trusted reverse-proxy hops used to derive the client IP from X-Forwarded-For for OAuth rate limiting and request logs. With 0, injected forwarding headers are ignored.Optional
Environment variable: TRUST_PROXY_HOPS
How many entries from the end of the RFC 7239 Forwarded header's for= list to count to reach the client IP for OAuth rate limiting and request logs. 0 ignores the header; 1 when the proxy in front writes it (e.g. AWS API Gateway); 2 when a CDN fronts that proxy and is the only way to reach it.Optional
Environment variable: TRUST_FORWARDED_HOPS
IANA timezone for timestamps and daily note resolution.Optional
Environment variable: TZ
Logging verbosity.Optional
Environment variable: LOG_LEVEL
Directory for log files that survive container re-creation. The container's own log is always written but discarded when the container is recreated; date-stamped files under LOG_DIR persist on the data volume. Default: /data/logs (remote image), $STORAGE_ROOT/data/logs (single-volume mode), none (local image). none keeps only the container log.Optional
Environment variable: LOG_DIR
Days to keep log files before automatic cleanup on startup; only applies when LOG_DIR is a path.Optional
Environment variable: LOG_RETENTION_DAYS
Comma-separated vault folder names blocked from vault_delete_note and vault_move_note. Default: MEMORY_DIR plus the daily notes folder, read from DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER or .obsidian/daily-notes.json (default Daily Notes). When set, overrides the default entirely.Optional
Environment variable: PROTECTED_PATHS
Comma-separated vault folder names excluded from vault_find_orphans. Default: the daily notes folder, "Templates", and MEMORY_DIR. DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER wins; otherwise .obsidian/daily-notes.json is read per query (fallback "Daily Notes"). When set, replaces the defaults entirely. Set to a comma (,) to exclude nothing; an empty value uses the defaults.Optional
Environment variable: ORPHAN_EXCLUDE_FOLDERS
Override the OAuth service documentation URL exposed via discovery metadata.Optional
Environment variable: SERVICE_DOCUMENTATION_URL
Largest file vault_read_file will read, in bytes. Reading a larger file returns an error instead of content.Optional
Environment variable: MAX_FILE_BYTES
Byte budget for images returned by vault_read_file, in binary bytes before base64 encoding. Images exceeding the budget are downscaled/recompressed server-side to fit; raise for clients that accept larger tool responses.Optional
Environment variable: MAX_IMAGE_OUTPUT_BYTES
Maximum PDF pages to render as images when raw: true is set on vault_read_file. The per-page byte budget is MAX_IMAGE_OUTPUT_BYTES divided evenly across the rendered pages.Optional
Environment variable: MAX_PDF_RENDER_PAGES
