Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
OITC_APIKEY	yes	yes	API key of a dedicated, least-privilege openITCOCKPIT user. This server presents it to openITCOCKPIT; it is never handed to a client.
OITC_BASEURL	yes	—	Base URL of the openITCOCKPIT instance, e.g. https://openitcockpit.example.org - without a path.
OITC_TRANSPORT	—	—	Transport mode. The image defaults to 'http', which additionally requires MCP_AUTH_TOKEN and a published port; a client that runs this container itself wants 'stdio'.
OITC_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS	—	—	Register the 15 tools that change the monitoring configuration. Off by default: they are not even registered unless this is 'true'.
OITC_VERIFY_TLS	—	—	Verify the openITCOCKPIT TLS certificate. On by default; for a self-signed instance set OITC_CA_BUNDLE rather than turning this off.
