Tools
This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.
Environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
OITC_APIKEYRequired, secret | API key of a dedicated, least-privilege openITCOCKPIT user. This server presents it to openITCOCKPIT; it is never handed to a client. |
OITC_BASEURLRequired | Base URL of the openITCOCKPIT instance, e.g. https://openitcockpit.example.org - without a path. |
OITC_TRANSPORTOptional | Transport mode. The image defaults to 'http', which additionally requires MCP_AUTH_TOKEN and a published port; a client that runs this container itself wants 'stdio'. |
OITC_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLSOptional | Register the 15 tools that change the monitoring configuration. Off by default: they are not even registered unless this is 'true'. |
OITC_VERIFY_TLSOptional | Verify the openITCOCKPIT TLS certificate. On by default; for a self-signed instance set OITC_CA_BUNDLE rather than turning this off. |
