Environment variables
  • EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITSClamp positive integer preview/search/dimension limits to 500/100/1000 with a notice. False restores schemas rejecting over-cap inputs.
  • MCP_LOG_LEVELSets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
  • EUROSTAT_BASE_URLEurostat API base URL. Override when using a mirror or proxy.
  • EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URLBase URL of the Comext dissemination host, which serves every DS-* dataset code (detailed trade and PRODCOM). Override when using a mirror or proxy.
  • EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MSTotal allowance for one Eurostat request across retries, backoff and body consumption, in milliseconds.
  • EUROSTAT_METADATA_TIMEOUT_MSTotal allowance for one dataset's SDMX dataflow structure across retries, backoff and body consumption, in milliseconds. Defaults to 120000; separate from EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS for large structures.
  • EUROSTAT_TOC_CACHE_TTL_MSHow long a fetched catalogue TOC stays usable before the next catalogue call refreshes it, in milliseconds. Defaults to 12 hours.
  • EUROSTAT_BULK_TIMEOUT_MSTotal allowance for one eurostat_download_dataset transfer across request retries, backoff and streaming body consumption, in milliseconds. Defaults to 120000.
  • EUROSTAT_BULK_MAX_BYTESByte budget for one eurostat_download_dataset transfer, counted on the decoded TSV rather than on the wire. Eurostat sends the body chunked with no Content-Length, so the budget is enforced while streaming and the transfer is aborted when it is reached. Defaults to 50 MiB.
  • CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPEDataframe canvas backend. The default, 'duckdb', lists eurostat_dataframe_describe and eurostat_dataframe_query, stages query matches with stage=true or above 5,000 observations, and retains bulk downloads beyond their previews. Set to 'none' to disable the canvas and those tools. The DuckDB binding ships with the server.
  • CANVAS_TTL_MSSliding lifetime of a staged dataframe canvas in milliseconds; every call against it extends the window. Defaults to 24 hours.
  • CANVAS_DEFAULT_ROW_LIMITMaximum complete rows a single eurostat_dataframe_query returns before reporting truncated.
  • EUROSTAT_DATAFRAME_DROP_ENABLEDSet to 'true' to list eurostat_dataframe_drop, which removes one staged table from a dataframe canvas and leaves its other tables in place. Off by default because a drop cannot be undone; staged tables expire with their canvas either way. Has no effect with CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=none.

A starting point — check the repository for exact arguments and setup. Restart your client after editing the config.

Nice for visibility, but GitHub marks README links nofollow, so it doesn't pass authority. Use the HTML badge on your site as well.
