Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHROMEWALK_LICENSE | — | yes | License key (sign up at https://api.chromewalk.com/register.html or run `chromewalk register <your-email>`). Read once when the MCP server starts and used to activate this device if it is not already activated (the same value as the bundle's license_key setting). Alternatively run `chromewalk activate <key>`. Without an activated license every licensed tool call returns a license-required error. |
| CHROMEWALK_DATA_DIR | — | — | Optional per-process data directory (profiles, output, logs, license state). Defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ChromeWalk on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/ChromeWalk on macOS. |
