OPENDAL_MYS3_TYPE=s3
OPENDAL_MYS3_BUCKET=mybucket
OPENDAL_MYS3_REGION=us-east-1
OPENDAL_MYS3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
OPENDAL_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey
OPENDAL_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkeyThen you can use tool like read and list with mys3://path/to/file.
mcp-server-opendal will also load from .env.
