Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
ENGRAVA_DB_PATH	yes	—	Absolute path to the SQLite database file. Created if missing; its directory must exist. Enough on its own: full-text search, the graph and MindQL work, but vector search needs ENGRAVA_MCP_CONFIG.
ENGRAVA_MCP_CONFIG	—	—	Absolute path to an engrava.yaml, for an embedding provider (vector search) and the thought/edge journal. When set, it takes precedence and ENGRAVA_DB_PATH is not read.
ENGRAVA_MCP_READ_ONLY	—	—	Set to true to register no write tools.
