Environment variables

Configure storage services by setting environment variables. Each service requires a prefix and specific configuration options.

For example, to configure an S3 service with alias "mys3":

OPENDAL_MYS3_TYPE=s3
OPENDAL_MYS3_BUCKET=mybucket
OPENDAL_MYS3_REGION=us-east-1
OPENDAL_MYS3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
OPENDAL_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey
OPENDAL_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkey

Then you can use tool like read and list with mys3://path/to/file.

mcp-server-opendal will also load from .env.
