Tools

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

Environment variables

Name	Description
`SNIPEIT_API_BASE` Required	Snipe-IT API base URL including /api/v1, for example https://snipe-it.example.com/api/v1. Use https.
`SNIPEIT_API_TOKEN` Required, secret	Snipe-IT Personal API Token (JWT), from Snipe-IT > User > Manage API Keys. It acts with the rights of its user.
`SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES` Optional	Write guard, on by default: write tools return a preview until called again with confirm: "YES". Only false, 0, no or off disable it.
`SNIPEIT_TIMEOUT_MS` Optional	Timeout in ms per HTTP attempt, including the body read (positive integer).
`SNIPEIT_LOG_LEVEL` Optional	Log level on stderr: debug, info, warn or error.
`SNIPEIT_MAX_RESULT_BYTES` Optional	Cap for one tool result in bytes (serialized JSON), minimum 65536. Larger results come back shortened with truncated: true.
`SNIPEIT_CALL_DEADLINE_MS` Optional	Overall deadline for one tool call in ms, across retries and all: true pagination. 0 means none.
`SNIPEIT_REDACT_PII` Optional	true masks personal data (email, username, names of people, phone, address, employee number) in tool results.
`SNIPEIT_REDACT_SECRETS` Optional	true masks secrets (password/secret/token/api_key fields, secret custom field values) in tool results with (redacted).
`SNIPEIT_READ_ONLY` Optional	true refuses every write at runtime; all tools stay registered and reads work.
`SNIPEIT_REQUIRE_PREVIEW` Optional	true (with the write guard on): confirm: "YES" executes only after a preview of the same request.
