Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORCA_BIN | No | Path of the `orca` CLI. Defaults to the CLI inside the installed Orca app, else `orca` on PATH. Looked up at `/Applications/Orca.app/Contents/Resources/bin/orca` (macOS), `~/.local/bin/orca` (Linux), `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Orca\resources\bin\orca.exe` (Windows). | |
| ORCA_MCP_ROOTS | No | Directories repos and worktrees must lie in, separated by `:` (`;` on Windows). Paths are resolved through symlinks and `..` before the check. | ~/dev |
| ORCA_MCP_BRIDGE | No | `0` does not open the status socket for the companion plugin. | on |
| ORCA_MCP_CLIENT | No | The owner tag written into worktrees this server starts (`orca-mcp:<tag>`). Defaults to the MCP client's name plus a random per-process suffix. Set a stable value (for example one per project or daemon) to find your workers again after a restart. | |
| ORCA_MCP_TMP_PREFIX | No | Also allow scratch directories directly under the per-user temp dir whose name starts with this prefix. The directory must exist, be owned by you and be writable by nobody else. | |
| ORCA_MCP_ENVIRONMENT | No | Name (or id) of a saved Orca environment (`orca environment add`). When its Orca advertises `orchestration.external-coordinator.v1`, this server coordinates Runs as that paired device. Unset, everything works as before. | |
| ORCA_MCP_CLIENT_PROFILE | No | A profile directory of the coordinator's own, passed to the orca CLI as `ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH`. Needed when `ORCA_MCP_ENVIRONMENT` points at the Orca on this same computer, where the pairing cannot be saved in Orca's own profile. |
