Environment / auth

CLAUDE_CLI_PATH
Path to the claude CLI binary. Defaults to 'claude' on PATH.
CLAUDE_DEFAULT_MODEL
Shared default model for all tools. Overridden by per-tool CLAUDE_<TOOL>_MODEL vars (QUERY, SEARCH, STRUCTURED).
CLAUDE_QUERY_MODEL
Override model for the query tool.
CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_MODEL
Override model for the structured tool.
CLAUDE_SEARCH_MODEL
Override model for the search tool.
CLAUDE_FALLBACK_MODEL
Model to use when the primary model hits a quota error. Set to 'none' to disable fallback.
CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT
Maximum concurrent Claude CLI subprocesses (default 3).
CLAUDE_BRIDGE_USE_API_KEY
Set to '1' to forward ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the CLI. Default is subscription-first: the CLI uses existing Max/Pro session and API key is NOT forwarded. Opt in only if you want API billing.
CLAUDE_MAX_BUDGET_USD
Maximum USD spend per call (pass-through to --max-budget-usd). Only applies when using API key auth.
CLAUDE_QUERY_EFFORT
Reasoning effort for the query tool (low|medium|high|max).
CLAUDE_SEARCH_EFFORT
