Environment / auth
  • MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE
    required

    Absolute path to sidecar state file (host-managed; sidecar writes port + token here)

  • MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE

    Kill-switch — set to 1 to refuse to spawn or talk to the sidecar

  • REBEL_DISABLE_OFFICE_SIDECAR

    DEPRECATED legacy alias for MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE — still honored for backward compatibility with v0.1.1 operator-set kill-switches; will be removed in a future major version. Use MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE instead.

  • MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE_DIR

    Sidecar state directory (certs, per-app manifests). Normally derived from MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE; hosts managing the sidecar lifecycle directly can override.

  • MCP_OFFICE_ADDIN_DIR

    Absolute path to the built add-in static files. Defaults to the package's dist/addin/ directory.
