Tools

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

Environment variables

Name	Description
`OPENAI_API_KEY` Optional, secret	Only required for synthesis. Set to 'local' when pointing SYNTH_BASE_URL at a local OpenAI-compatible server (LM Studio / Ollama); set to a funded key for real OpenAI. Search, bridges, entities run on-device with no key.
`SYNTH_BASE_URL` Optional	Optional OpenAI-compatible base URL for synthesis (e.g. http://localhost:1234/v1 for LM Studio). Keeps notes on-device.
`SYNTH_MODEL` Optional	Optional model id for synthesis when SYNTH_BASE_URL is set (defaults to gpt-4o-mini for real OpenAI).
