Environment variables

Defined in the server's official registry manifest. Required secrets are shown as <YOUR_…> placeholders in the configs above.

ENGRAM_MCP_STARTUP_SYNC — Kept for compatibility; has no effect. The server never imports other AI tools' memories at start (the user runs engram import-memories for that).
ENGRAM_TOOLS — Expose the context-budget friendly default surface; set to all for the full advanced surface.
PYTHONIOENCODING — Force UTF-8 stdio frames on Windows-style consoles.
