Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
EVOLUTION_API_URL	yes	—	URL of your Evolution API server (e.g. https://evolution.example.com). Evolution API 2.x is required.
EVOLUTION_INSTANCE_TOKEN	yes	yes	The token of this one instance (Evolution Manager: open the instance and copy its token). The server's global AUTHENTICATION_API_KEY is refused. The instance name and integration are discovered from the token.
EVOLUTION_MCP_TOOLSETS	—	—	Toolsets to enable: a comma list of instance, messaging, chats, contacts, groups, labels, profile, status, catalog, templates, settings, events, integrations, or the presets `core` and `all`. Default: `core` (messaging, chats, contacts). The --toolsets option overrides it.
EVOLUTION_MCP_ALLOW	—	—	Tools that change data the agent may call. `*` (default) allows every tool not denied; `none` makes the server read-only; or a comma list of tool names. Reads are never gated by this list.
EVOLUTION_MCP_DENY	—	—	Tool names the agent may never call. A value set here REPLACES the default list, which is post_status, remove_group_participants, set_webhook, set_event_channel, set_proxy, set_chatwoot_config.
EVOLUTION_MCP_ALLOW_IRREVERSIBLE	—	—	Tools that cannot be undone (logout_instance, delete_message_for_everyone, leave_group, delete_template, delete_chatbot, delete_openai_credential) run only when this is `yes` (also `true` or `1`). Default: no.
EVOLUTION_MCP_DEFAULT_DELAY_MS	—	—	Milliseconds of 'typing...' Evolution shows before each message is sent when a call gives no delay. Integer from 0 to 20000. Default: 1200.
EVOLUTION_MCP_MAX_WRITES_PER_MINUTE	—	—	Maximum number of tools that change data per minute on this server; 0 turns the limit off. Integer, 0 or more. Default: 30.
EVOLUTION_MCP_FILE_ROOTS	—	—	Folders send_local_files may read: absolute paths of existing directories separated by the operating system's path separator (':' on macOS and Linux, ';' on Windows). Default: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Movies and Music in the home folder (those that exist) plus the download folder.
EVOLUTION_MCP_DOWNLOAD_DIR	—	—	Absolute folder where download_message_media saves received files and export_chat its exports/ folders. Default: ~/Downloads/evolution-api-mcp.
EVOLUTION_MCP_TIMEZONE	—	—	IANA time zone for the times tools show and for times given without a zone, e.g. Europe/Rome. Default: the computer's zone (TZ, then /etc/localtime), else UTC.
