Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| PORT | No | Listening port for the HTTP server binary (cortex-scout). | 5000 |
| RUST_LOG | No | Log level. Keep warn for MCP stdio — info floods stderr and confuses MCP clients. | warn |
| MAX_LINKS | No | Max links followed per page crawl. | 100 |
| LANCEDB_URI | No | Directory path for persistent research memory. Omit to disable. | |
| IP_LIST_PATH | No | Optional path to ip.txt (one proxy per line: http://, socks5://). Leave unset to disable proxy support entirely, or point at an empty file to keep proxy tools available but inactive by default. | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY | No | API key for LLM synthesis. Omit for key-less local endpoints (Ollama). | |
| OUTBOUND_LIMIT | No | Max concurrent outbound HTTP connections. | 32 |
| SEARCH_ENGINES | No | Active engines (comma-separated). | google,bing,duckduckgo,brave |
| MODEL2VEC_MODEL | No | HuggingFace model ID or local path for embedding (e.g. minishlab/potion-base-8M). | |
| OPENAI_BASE_URL | No | OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, etc.). | https://api.openai.com/v1 |
| CHROME_EXECUTABLE | No | Override path to Chromium/Chrome/Brave binary. | |
| CORTEX_SCOUT_PORT | No | Listening port for the HTTP server binary (cortex-scout). | 5000 |
| HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECS | No | Per-request read timeout (seconds). | 30 |
| MAX_CONTENT_CHARS | No | Max characters returned per scraped page. | 10000 |
| PROXY_SOURCE_PATH | No | Optional path to proxy_source.json (used by proxy_control grab). | |
| SEARCH_CDP_FALLBACK | No | Retry search engine fetches via native Chromium CDP when blocked. | true |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_ENABLED | No | Set 0 to disable the deep_research tool at runtime. | 1 |
| SEARCH_TIER2_NON_ROBOT | No | Set 1 to allow hitl_web_fetch as last-resort search escalation. | |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_LLM_MODEL | No | Model identifier (must be supported by the endpoint). | gpt-4o-mini |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_SYNTHESIS | No | Set 0 to skip LLM synthesis (search+scrape only). | 1 |
| HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECS | No | TCP connect timeout (seconds). | 10 |
| CORTEX_SCOUT_MEMORY_DISABLED | No | Set 1 to disable memory even when LANCEDB_URI is set. | 0 |
| SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS_PER_ENGINE | No | Results per engine before merge/dedup. | 10 |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_SYNTHESIS_MAX_TOKENS | No | Max tokens for synthesis response. Use 4096+ for large-context models. | 1024 |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_SYNTHESIS_MAX_SOURCES | No | Max source documents fed to LLM synthesis. | 8 |
| DEEP_RESEARCH_SYNTHESIS_MAX_CHARS_PER_SOURCE | No | Max characters extracted per source for synthesis. | 2500 |
