Tools

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

Environment variables

Name	Description
`TRILIUM_BASE_URL` Required	Base URL of the TriliumNext instance, e.g. http://localhost:8080
`TRILIUM_ETAPI_TOKEN` Optional, secret	ETAPI token. Required unless TRILIUM_PASSWORD is set. Create one in Trilium under Options → ETAPI.
`TRILIUM_PASSWORD` Optional, secret	Alternative to TRILIUM_ETAPI_TOKEN — BrainLLM mints a token on first start and caches it beside brainllm.json.
`BRAINLLM_MODE` Optional	core (default) exposes the 45 brain-aware tools; full additionally exposes the 33 raw ETAPI tools.
`BRAINLLM_TZ` Optional	IANA timezone used to stamp dated notes, e.g. Africa/Johannesburg. Defaults to the host timezone.
`BRAINLLM_OWNER_PASSWORD` Optional, secret	Enables the OAuth 2.1 / CIMD endpoints required by claude.ai and other hosted Claude surfaces. This is the password entered on the consent screen when authorizing a client.
`BRAINLLM_OAUTH_SECRET` Optional, secret	Optional 32+ character deployment secret for signing OAuth tokens; rotate it to invalidate old tokens.
`BRAINLLM_PUBLIC_URL` Optional	Override for the public origin when a proxy rewrites Host. Must exactly match the URL entered in the client.
`BRAINLLM_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_HTTP` Optional	Explicit trusted-network-only escape hatch for HTTP mode. Never enable on a public interface.
`BRAINLLM_TRUST_PROXY` Optional	Trust forwarded host/protocol headers for OAuth discovery only when a trusted reverse proxy sets them.
