What you need
| Setting | Needed | What it is |
|---|---|---|
CONFIG_Environment variable | Optional | Path to the mcp.json listing the servers to expose, in Claude Code's mcpServers format (default mcp.json in the working directory) |
IDLE_Environment variable | Optional | Minutes of inactivity before a server is put to sleep; 0 starts every server at launch and keeps it running (default 60) Default: 60 |
TOOL_Environment variable | Optional | Tool snapshots of sleeping servers (default .mcp-hub/tool-cache.json beside the config) |
LOG_Environment variable | Optional | Mirror the hub's log lines into this file; stdout carries the protocol, so logging goes to stderr otherwise |
From the publisher's entry in the official MCP Registry. Required settings are already in the install config below as placeholders.
