Tools
This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.
Environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
DELEGATE_BASE_URLOptional | OpenAI-compatible endpoint serving the cheap models — usually a local LiteLLM proxy. |
DELEGATE_API_KEYOptional, secret | Key for that endpoint. A local proxy ignores it; set a real one for a hosted endpoint. |
DELEGATE_TIMEOUTOptional | Per-call timeout in seconds. Raise it for long documents. |
DELEGATE_MODEL_MAPOptional | JSON remapping the built-in aliases to your proxy's model names, e.g. {"deepseek": "deepseek-v4"}. |
DELEGATE_NO_LOGOptional | Set to 1 to disable the local savings ledger (metadata only, never task content). |
