Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP_LOG_LEVEL | — | — | Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn'). |
| SANCTIONS_MIRROR_PATH | — | — | Filesystem path for the local SQLite mirror. All sources are keyless; no API key is required. Populate the mirror out-of-band with `bun run mirror:init`. |
| SANCTIONS_FUZZY_MIN_SCORE | — | — | Default Jaro-Winkler similarity floor (0-1) for fuzzy matches when the caller omits minScore. |
| MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE | — | — | Selects the HTTP transport. |
| MCP_HTTP_HOST | — | — | The hostname for the HTTP server. |
| MCP_HTTP_PORT | — | — | The port to run the HTTP server on. |
| MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH | — | — | The endpoint path for the MCP server. |
| MCP_AUTH_MODE | — | — | Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'. |
| SANCTIONS_REFRESH_CRON | — | — | Cron for the scheduled mirror refresh (HTTP transport only). Each run re-harvests the sanctions lists and rebuilds the name and identifier indexes, then applies the GLEIF delta windows its checkpoint calls for, under one 4-hour time bound. A GLEIF gap that needs mirror:init is logged, never loaded in-process. |
| SANCTIONS_REFRESH_SKIP_GLEIF | — | — | Set to 1 to skip the GLEIF leg of the scheduled refresh and of mirror:refresh, refreshing only the sanctions lists. |
