Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| METABASE_URL | No | Base URL of your Metabase instance | |
| MCP_HTTP_HOST | No | HTTP bind address, default `127.0.0.1:3333` (with MCP_HTTP_PORT) | 127.0.0.1 |
| MCP_HTTP_PORT | No | HTTP bind port, default `127.0.0.1:3333` (`PORT` also works) | 3333 |
| MCP_TRANSPORT | No | `stdio` (default) or `http`. `--http` on the command line does the same | stdio |
| MCP_HTTP_TOKEN | No | Bearer token clients must send (min. 16 chars). Required in HTTP mode. | |
| METABASE_EMAIL | No | Email for session-based auth. Required together with METABASE_PASSWORD if METABASE_API_KEY is not provided. | |
| METABASE_API_KEY | No | API key for authentication (starts with mb_). Either this or both METABASE_EMAIL + METABASE_PASSWORD must be provided; API key is recommended. | |
| METABASE_PASSWORD | No | Password for session-based auth. Required together with METABASE_EMAIL if METABASE_API_KEY is not provided. | |
| METABASE_TOOLSETS | No | Comma list of toolsets or presets to load (default: all). Presets: all, query, content, admin. | |
| METABASE_TOOLS_ENABLE | No | Extra tools to load on top of the toolsets (names or globs, e.g. `get_card,export_*`) | |
| MCP_HTTP_ALLOW_NO_AUTH | No | `true` runs HTTP without a token, only on a loopback host | |
| METABASE_TOOLS_DISABLE | No | Tools never to load (names or globs); always wins over enable | |
| METABASE_CUSTOM_HEADERS | No | Extra HTTP headers sent on every request, including the session login. A JSON object (e.g. {"CF-Access-Client-Id": "xxx.access", "CF-Access-Client-Secret": "yyy"}) or `Name: value` pairs separated by newlines or `;`. A malformed value stops the server at startup. | |
| METABASE_READ_ONLY_MODE | No | Set to `true` to disable write tools |
