Credentials from the publisher

SCHCRWLR_MCP_SERVER_TRANSPORT — MCP Server transport type - valid values are 'http' or 'stdio', defaulting to 'stdio'.
SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_USER — Database user name. Can be optional depending on the database connection type.
SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_PASSWORD — Database user password. Can be optional depending on the database connection type.
SCHCRWLR_JDBC_URL — Optional JDBC URL for database connection. If nonblank, server, host, port, and database are ignored. Credentials may still be supplied separately.
SCHCRWLR_SERVER — SchemaCrawler database connector identifier, for example, 'sqlserver' or 'sqlite'. Required if the JDBC URL is blank or unset.
SCHCRWLR_HOST — Database host. Defaults to the connector's host default. Used only if the JDBC URL is blank or unset.
SCHCRWLR_PORT — Database port. Valid decimal values from 1024 through 65535 are used; otherwise the connector's default port is retained. Used only if the JDBC URL is blank or unset.
SCHCRWLR_DATABASE — Optional database name or connector-specific database value. Used only if the JDBC URL is blank or unset.
SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_ALIAS — Optional stable alias used to identify this database server in MCP instructions and tool results.
SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_DESCRIPTION — Optional description of this database server, included in MCP instructions and the about_database response.
SCHCRWLR_INFO_LEVEL — How much database metadata to retrieve: 'minimum', 'standard', 'detailed', or 'maximum'. Defaults to 'standard'; unset or unrecognized values also use 'standard'.
SCHCRWLR_LOG_LEVEL — Java logging level. Defaults to 'INFO'. Java logging names such as 'SEVERE', 'WARNING', 'INFO', 'CONFIG', 'FINE', 'FINER', 'FINEST', 'ALL', and 'OFF', and numeric levels are accepted.
SCHCRWLR_EXCLUDE_TOOLS — MCP Server tools to exclude, as a comma-separated list.
SCHCRWLR_OFFLINE_DATABASE — Optional path to a serialized offline catalog snapshot. When set, catalog loading uses this snapshot.
