- Source — clone and run with
npm install && npm run build
See docs/INSTALLATION.md for detailed steps per method.
Configuration
The server supports three operational modes controlled via CLI arguments or environment variables:
| Mode | How to Enable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic | DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true | Starts with 5 meta-tools; load toolsets at runtime |
| Static | FMP_TOOL_SETS=search,company | Pre-loads specified toolsets on session creation |
| All Tools (default) | (default) | Loads all 250+ tools immediately |
Precedence: for mode and tool sets, CLI args > Environment variables > Defaults. A session ?config= token overrides the server's FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN for that session.
See docs/CONFIGURATION.md for the full configuration reference.
