Environment / auth

OFF_BASE_URL
Open Food Facts API base URL override. Useful for testing against a mock server.
OFF_RATE_LIMIT_PRODUCT
Product read rate limit (requests/min). Matches the 15 req/min/IP Open Food Facts documents for product reads.
OFF_RATE_LIMIT_SEARCH
Search rate limit (requests/min).
OFF_RATE_LIMIT_TAXONOMY
Taxonomy resolution rate limit (requests/min). Applies to the live tag-vocabulary lookups off_browse_taxonomy makes, to tag-value resolution on text searches, and to checking allergen and trace exclusions on every search; a spent budget falls back to the offline sample, or to the tag value as normalized, rather than failing, except that an exclusion it could not check is refused as retryable.
MCP_LOG_LEVEL
Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
MCP_HTTP_HOST
The hostname for the HTTP server.
MCP_HTTP_PORT
The port to run the HTTP server on.
MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH
The endpoint path for the MCP server.
MCP_AUTH_MODE
Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.
