Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
OFW_USERNAME	—	—	Your OurFamilyWizard login email address. Optional — if omitted, the server falls back to the fetchproxy browser extension (requires being signed in to ourfamilywizard.com).
OFW_PASSWORD	—	yes	Your OurFamilyWizard password. Optional — see OFW_USERNAME.
OFW_WRITE_MODE	—	—	Write-tool gate: "none" registers no write tools; "drafts" registers draft-level writes only (save/delete drafts, upload attachments); "all" registers everything (default). Unrecognized values fail closed to "none".
OFW_CALENDAR_WRITES	—	—	Set to "true" to register calendar write tools (create/update/delete event) in "drafts" write mode. Events have no draft stage but are reversible. Never overrides "none".
OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ	—	—	Default "true". Set "false" to forbid any tool from marking a message read on OurFamilyWizard - reading a body for the first time stamps a co-parent-visible "First Viewed" time that cannot be undone. A ceiling: no per-call argument can raise it.
OFW_FETCH_UNREAD_BODIES	—	—	Default "false". Whether ofw_sync_messages fetches unread inbox bodies by default (each fetch stamps a First Viewed time). Capped by OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ.
OFW_SESSION_CACHE	—	—	Set to false to disable the on-disk session cache and re-authenticate on every process start. Defaults to enabled.
OFW_SESSION_FILE	—	—	Absolute path for the session cache file. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/.ofw-mcp/session.json.
OFW_EXPENSE_ONLY	—	—	Set true to register only healthcheck plus expense tools. All profile/dashboard, message, calendar, and journal tools are structurally absent.
OFW_EXPENSE_UPLOAD_ONLY	—	—	Set true for strict reimbursement upload mode: only healthcheck, ofw_upload_expense_pdf, ofw_create_expense, and ofw_update_expense register. Implies OFW_EXPENSE_ONLY.
