Variables d'environnement

• MANTIS_BASE_URL obligatoire Base URL of the MantisBT REST API, e.g. https://your-mantis.example.com/api/rest
• MANTIS_API_KEY obligatoire secret MantisBT API key (Profile → API Tokens in MantisBT)
• MANTIS_USE_INDEX_PHP Use /api/rest/index.php/ for MantisBT installations without URL rewriting. Detected automatically when MANTIS_BASE_URL ends with /api/rest/index.php
• MANTIS_CACHE_DIR Directory for the metadata cache. Defaults to ~/.cache/mantisbt-mcp
• MANTIS_CACHE_TTL Metadata cache TTL in seconds. Default: 3600 (1 hour)
• TRANSPORT Transport mode. 'stdio' for local use (default), 'http' for remote/team deployments
• PORT HTTP port when TRANSPORT=http. Default: 3000
• MCP_HTTP_HOST Bind address when TRANSPORT=http. Default: 127.0.0.1 (local only). Use 0.0.0.0 for Docker/remote.
• MCP_HTTP_TOKEN secret Optional Bearer token to protect the /mcp endpoint when TRANSPORT=http
• MANTIS_SEARCH_ENABLED Enable offline semantic search (requires ~80 MB model download on first use)
• MANTIS_SEARCH_BACKEND Vector store backend for semantic search. 'vectra' (default, pure JS) or 'sqlite-vec' (faster for >10k issues)
• MANTIS_SEARCH_DIR Directory for the semantic search index. Defaults to ~/.cache/mantisbt-mcp/search
• MANTIS_SEARCH_MODEL Hugging Face model for embeddings. Default: Xenova/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2
• MANTIS_SEARCH_THREADS ONNX inference threads for the embedding model. Default: 1
• MANTIS_UPLOAD_DIR If set, restricts file uploads to this directory (path traversal protection)
