by elenat648
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| PORT | No | Port for npm run web (imap-setup uses --port instead). | 3000 |
| IMAP_MCP_BIND | No | Address the setup wizard binds to (the --host option takes precedence). | 127.0.0.1 |
| IMAP_MCP_READ_ONLY | No | When truthy (1, true, yes, on), only the safe, read-only tools are registered — searching, reading, listing folders, unread counts, spam analysis. No tool that sends mail, deletes/moves messages, changes flags, or edits accounts is exposed. | |
| IMAP_MCP_WIZARD_TOKEN | No | Access token used when the wizard is bound beyond loopback; must be at least 16 characters. Defaults to a random token per start. | |
| IMAP_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS | No | Comma-separated allowlist of tool names — only these are registered. Names are case-insensitive and the imap_ prefix is optional (search_emails ≡ imap_search_emails). When set, it takes precedence over IMAP_MCP_READ_ONLY. | |
| IMAP_MCP_ACCOUNT_<NAME>_IMAP_PASSWORD | No | Overrides the IMAP password of an already-configured account at runtime. Keyed by the account name, uppercased with every non-alphanumeric character replaced by _. Applied in memory only; read at startup. | |

| IMAP_MCP_ACCOUNT_<NAME>_SMTP_PASSWORD | No | Overrides the SMTP password of an already-configured account at runtime (takes effect only when the account already has an SMTP config). Keyed by the account name, uppercased with non-alphanumeric characters replaced by _. | |
| IMAP_MCP_ACCOUNT_<NAME>_SMTP_USERNAME | No | Overrides the SMTP username of an already-configured account at runtime (takes effect only when the account already has an SMTP config). Keyed by the account name, uppercased with non-alphanumeric characters replaced by _. |
