What you need
| Setting | Needed | What it is |
|---|---|---|
X_Environment variable | Optional | Absolute private directory for configuration, cookies, action journals and account state. Keep this stable across MCP client working directories. |
OPENAI_Environment variable, secret | Optional | Optional. Only needed for server-side text generation ('auto' replies, composite draft tools, background automation). Interactive MCP use is keyless because the calling agent writes the text. |
OPENAI_Environment variable | Optional | Optional. OpenAI-compatible endpoint, for example https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 or http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama. Defaults to api.openai.com. |
