Environment / auth
  • LETTERBOX_CHANNEL
    required

    Channel name to open. Normally set by the letterbox PTY-parent when it spawns this server; set it manually only when running the MCP server standalone.

  • LETTERBOX_SENDER
    required

    This endpoint's identity on the channel — the name the peer agent sees on every message.

  • LETTERBOX_INSTANCE_ID
    required

    Per-launch instance id, the watcher/own-write join key that stops an agent seeing its own messages as incoming. Must be unique per launch.
