Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
GHOST_INSPECTOR_API_KEY	yes	yes	Your personal Ghost Inspector key, from Account Settings then API Access. Read fresh on every call, never written to disk, never echoed back.
GHOST_INSPECTOR_ORG_ID	—	—	Organization id. Needed only to execute a validation; read it from gi_whoami.
GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_WRITES	—	—	Set to exactly true to let the five write tools act. They are listed either way; anything else keeps the server read-only.
GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_RUNS	—	—	Set to "true" to let gi_run_test execute a stored test against a real environment, which can submit a real form. Deliberately not implied by GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_WRITES: an edit can be rolled back from the backup this server returns, a submission cannot. Defaults to false.
GHOST_INSPECTOR_BACKUP_DIR	—	—	Where the write path saves the prior definition of every test it touches, credentials removed. Defaults to ~/.ghost-inspector-mcp/backups, created owner-only.
