Credentials from the publisher

MCP_TRANSPORT — Pinned to stdio for registry-installed containers that the client spawns itself. The image's own default is http (Streamable HTTP on port 8080) for networked Docker deployments; see the README for that setup.
GRAMPS_API_URL — Base URL of your Gramps Web instance
GRAMPS_USERNAME — Gramps Web API username; required with GRAMPS_PASSWORD unless GRAMPS_REFRESH_TOKEN is set
GRAMPS_PASSWORD — Gramps Web API password; required with GRAMPS_USERNAME unless GRAMPS_REFRESH_TOKEN is set
GRAMPS_REFRESH_TOKEN — Refresh token for instances with password login disabled; replaces GRAMPS_USERNAME and GRAMPS_PASSWORD
GRAMPS_TREE_ID — Gramps Web tree UUID
GRAMPS_READ_ONLY — Set to true to block create, update, and delete tools
GRAMPS_MUTATION_SERIALIZE — Serialize create/update/delete HTTP calls in-process (set false to allow parallel writes)
GRAMPS_MUTATION_MIN_INTERVAL_MS — Minimum milliseconds between mutation HTTP calls. Use 250 or 500 on SQLite if you see database is locked
GRAMPS_LOG_LEVEL — Server log level: Trace, Debug, Information, Warning, Error, Critical, or None. Debug and Trace also log request and response bodies, which contain genealogy data
GRAMPS_MEDIA_RESOURCES_ENABLED — Set to true to expose read_media and the media resources for thumbnails and full files
GRAMPS_MEDIA_MAX_BYTES — Maximum bytes returned by read_media or a media resource
GRAMPS_MEDIA_ALLOW_PRIVATE — Set to true to return bytes for media records marked private
