Environment variables

Name	Description
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` Optional, secret	Your own Anthropic API key. Needed only by chains that seat Anthropic models.

`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` Optional, secret	Your own DeepSeek API key. Needed only by chains that seat DeepSeek models.
`GROQ_API_KEY` Optional, secret	Your own Groq API key. Needed only by chains that seat Groq models.

`ZAI_API_KEY` Optional, secret	Your own Z.ai API key. Needed only by chains that seat Z.ai models.
`MAX_USD_PER_RUN` Optional	The figure the spending-limit screen suggests for a paid run; the limit is the number the person types. Unset, a command-line run suggests nothing, and when a client sends no max_usd the MCP server suggests the lesser of 7 and COUNCIL_MAX_USD_LIMIT where that is set. For a chain with no paid seat i…
`COUNCIL_MAX_USD_LIMIT` Optional	A hard per-run ceiling in US dollars that the MCP client cannot raise or remove (max_usd above it, or "none", is refused). Set it to the same value as MAX_USD_PER_RUN so the suggested figure and the ceiling are the same.
`COUNCIL_WORKDIR` Optional	Folder for task files and run output. Default: the directory the client starts the server in.
