Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`ENGRAVA_DB_PATH` Required	Absolute path to the SQLite database file. Created if missing; its directory must exist. Enough on its own: full-text search, the graph and MindQL work, but vector search needs ENGRAVA_MCP_CONFIG.
`ENGRAVA_MCP_CONFIG` Optional	Absolute path to an engrava.yaml, for an embedding provider (vector search) and the thought/edge journal. When set, it takes precedence and ENGRAVA_DB_PATH is not read.
`ENGRAVA_MCP_READ_ONLY` Optional	Set to true to register no write tools.
