Tools

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

Environment variables

Name	Description
`OFW_USERNAME` Optional	Your OurFamilyWizard login email address. Optional — if omitted, the server falls back to the fetchproxy browser extension (requires being signed in to ourfamilywizard.com).
`OFW_PASSWORD` Optional, secret	Your OurFamilyWizard password. Optional — see OFW_USERNAME.
`OFW_WRITE_MODE` Optional	Write-tool gate: "none" registers no write tools; "drafts" registers draft-level writes only (save/delete drafts, upload attachments); "all" registers everything (default). Unrecognized values fail closed to "none".
`OFW_CALENDAR_WRITES` Optional	Set to "true" to register calendar write tools (create/update/delete event) in "drafts" write mode. Events have no draft stage but are reversible. Never overrides "none".
`OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ` Optional	Default "true". Set "false" to forbid any tool from marking a message read on OurFamilyWizard - reading a body for the first time stamps a co-parent-visible "First Viewed" time that cannot be undone. A ceiling: no per-call argument can raise it.
`OFW_CONFIRM_MARK_READ` Optional	Default "false". Set "true" to show an unread message's subject, sender and sent time and ask for confirmation before opening it marks it read. Sync fetchUnreadBodies asks too; allowMarkRead probes are disabled.
`OFW_FETCH_UNREAD_BODIES` Optional	Default "false". Whether ofw_sync_messages fetches unread inbox bodies by default (each fetch stamps a First Viewed time). Capped by OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ.
`OFW_READ_DAYS` Optional	Allow list of days message content may be read, e.g. "mon,thu" (weekdays, YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD, in DISPLAY_TZ). Other days: unread inbox messages show subject only and are never marked read; sent and read messages stay readable. Unset = every day.
`OFW_NO_READ_DAYS` Optional	Deny list of days unread inbox messages may NOT be opened (same format as OFW_READ_DAYS; wins over it). Unset = none.
`OFW_SESSION_CACHE` Optional	Set to false to disable the on-disk session cache and re-authenticate on every process start. Defaults to enabled.
`OFW_SESSION_FILE` Optional	Absolute path for the session cache file. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/.ofw-mcp/session.json.
`OFW_EXPENSE_ONLY` Optional	Set true to register only healthcheck plus expense tools. All profile/dashboard, message, calendar, and journal tools are structurally absent.
`OFW_EXPENSE_UPLOAD_ONLY` Optional	Set true for strict reimbursement upload mode: only healthcheck, ofw_upload_expense_pdf, ofw_create_expense, and ofw_update_expense register. Excludes ofw_mark_expense_reimbursed. Implies OFW_EXPENSE_ONLY.
`OFW_INLINE_ATTACHMENTS` Optional	Set "true" to return attachments as MCP content blocks by default (images render directly; other files come back as embedded resources) instead of writing to disk. Callers can still override per call via the tool's `inline` argument.
`OFW_ATTACHMENTS_DIR` Optional	Where ofw_download_attachment writes (default ~/Downloads/ofw-mcp). Every disk write is confined to it: a saveTo outside it (after resolving symlinks) is refused, and an existing file is replaced only with force:true.
`OFW_UPLOAD_DIR` Optional	The only directory ofw_upload_attachment may read from (default: OFW_ATTACHMENTS_DIR). Paths outside it after resolving symlinks, hidden files/dirs, and files over 25 MiB are refused.
`OFW_CACHE_IDENTITY` Optional	Explicit cache-key label; overrides OFW_USERNAME for fetchproxy-only multi-account setups. If you have multiple OFW accounts and want them to use separate caches, set it to a label per profile.
`OFW_CACHE_DIR` Optional	Overrides the message cache directory (default ~/.cache/ofw-mcp).
`OFW_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY` Optional	Skip the fetchproxy fallback, so missing credentials become a hard error (useful in headless CI).
`OFW_AUTO_REFRESH` Optional	When a cached read comes back EMPTY from a non-fresh cache, the read tools sync the backing folders and answer from the refreshed cache instead of refusing with UNVERIFIED_EMPTY (default off, i.e. refuse). Per-call autoRefresh overrides it. A refresh that does not make the read verifiable still ref…
`OFW_FRESHNESS_TTL_SECONDS` Optional	How long a verified-against-OFW folder stays labelled `fresh` in read tools' `freshness` block (default 300). Unusable values fall back to the default — a typo must never widen the window in which stale data reads as current.
`OFW_SYNC_MAX_REQUESTS` Optional	Per-call OFW-request budget for ofw_sync_messages: a positive integer caps how many OFW requests one sync call may make before pausing; the next call resumes where it left off. Unset means unbounded (local installs walk fully in one call).
`OFW_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` Optional	Per-request timeout for OFW API calls, in milliseconds (default 30000). Each retry gets its own fresh window.
`OFW_DEBUG_LOG` Optional	Log every OFW request/response to stderr (Authorization redacted). Diagnostic only.
`DISPLAY_TZ` Optional	IANA zone (e.g. America/New_York, the default) for every `<field>Display` value, and the zone a NAIVE source timestamp is assumed to be wall-clock in. OFW's API reports naive local times in the account's own zone, so this must match it. Unrecognized values fall back to the default.
`FETCHPROXY_WS_PORT` Optional	Localhost port of the fetchproxy concentrator the ContextMint Bridge extension connects to (default 37149). Every MCP on one machine shares it, so move it for all of them or not at all.
`FETCHPROXY_WS_HOST` Optional	Bind interface for the fetchproxy concentrator, a literal IP only (default 127.0.0.1). Keep on loopback; it exists for hosted deployments that run each MCP in its own network namespace.
`FETCHPROXY_IDENTITY_DIR` Optional	Absolute path where the fetchproxy long-term identity keypair is stored (default ~/.fetchproxy/identity/).
