Perforce P4 MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4PORT | No | P4 Server address. Examples: ssl:perforce.example.com:1666, localhost:1666 | |
| P4USER | No | Your P4 username | |
| P4CLIENT | No | Your current P4 workspace. Optional, but recommended | |
| P4CONFIG | No | P4 configuration file. If set, you do not need to set any other environment variables in the env block; the server will use the configuration from the specified P4CONFIG file instead. | |
| P4PASSWD | No | Your P4 password or ticket content, used for authentication (e.g. when running in Docker or on a VM) | |
| P4DAM_API_KEY | No | API key for P4 DAM (Digital Asset Management) integration via its REST API | |
| P4MCP_LOG_DIR | No | Directory for log files. Default: logs/ in the server executable's directory. Can be overridden by the --log-dir CLI argument. | logs/ |
| P4MCP_CA_BUNDLE | No | Path to a custom CA bundle for TLS verification. Ignored when P4MCP_TLS_CA_MODE=system; use P4MCP_TLS_CA_MODE=certifi to use a custom CA bundle. Can also be set via the --ca-bundle CLI argument. | |
| P4MCP_MAX_RESULTS | No | Cap on the number of rows the P4 server returns per command (p4.maxresults). Default: 10000. Set to 0 to disable the limit (server default in effect). When a command would exceed this limit the server aborts it with an error rather than truncating results, so keep the value generous. Can be overridden by the --max-results CLI argument. Must be a non-negative integer; an invalid value fails fast at startup before any P4 connection is attempted. | 10000 |
| P4MCP_TLS_CA_MODE | No | TLS certificate source mode. 'system' (default): use OS trust store via truststore. Note: In this mode, truststore overrides the verify= parameter — custom CA bundles set via P4MCP_CA_BUNDLE or --ca-bundle are ignored. To use a custom CA bundle, set P4MCP_TLS_CA_MODE=certifi. 'certifi': disable truststore. | system |
| P4MCP_MAX_SCAN_ROWS | No | Cap on the number of rows the P4 server scans per command (p4.maxscanrows). Unset by default, so admin/group policy governs scan limits. Can be overridden by the --max-scan-rows CLI argument. Must be a non-negative integer when supplied. |
