Environment / auth

MEDIUM_INTEGRATION_TOKEN
secret
Legacy Medium Integration Token (api.medium.com/v1/*). Optional. Generate at medium.com/me/settings → 'Integration tokens' (note: Medium stopped issuing new tokens in 2023).
MEDIUM_SID
secret
Medium 'sid' cookie value from medium.com (Application → Cookies). Used for authenticated reads + dashboard GraphQL.
MEDIUM_UID
Medium 'uid' cookie value. Required alongside sid for some authenticated endpoints.
MEDIUM_XSRF
secret
Medium 'xsrf' cookie value. Required for any dashboard write (post_response, publish_post, delete_post, draft updates).
MEDIUM_CF_CLEARANCE
secret
Cloudflare 'cf_clearance' cookie. Only required when Cloudflare challenges your IP for dashboard write calls.
MEDIUM_USERNAME
Your Medium handle (without the @). Required for the public RSS read path so the client knows whose feed to fetch.
MEDIUM_OPS_MCP_PATH
Override path to the mcp.json file the auth layer reads. Defaults to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
MEDIUM_OPS_LLM_CMD
Optional: override the host CLI used by the unattended daemon path (default: auto-detect claude / cursor-agent / codex on PATH). Use {prompt} placeholder if your CLI takes the prompt as an arg.
