Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`STEAM_API_KEY`	Yes	Your Steam Web API key
`STEAM_ID`	No	Default Steam ID to use when not specified in tool calls
`STEAM_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS`	No	Per-request timeout for Steam API calls in milliseconds (default `10000`)

When STEAM_ID is set, you can call tools like get_owned_games without passing a Steam ID - it will use your default profile automatically.

Reliability & Pagination

Every Steam API request is bounded by a timeout (STEAM_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS) and automatically retries transient failures (timeouts, HTTP 429, and 5xx) with exponential backoff. Non-retriable errors (401/403/404) fail fast with a clear, actionable message, and failures are returned with isError: true.
List-returning tools accept limit and offset and return a consistent envelope with the pre-slice total and a has_more flag, e.g. { "total_games": 412, "returned": 50, "offset": 0, "has_more": true, "games": [...] }. get_inventory additionally returns a next_cursor (Steam start_assetid) for deep paging.
search_apps uses Steam's relevance-ranked storefront search (no full-catalog download), so it returns the top matches quickly and reliably.
