Environment variables
  • SOCRATA_DEFAULT_DOMAINDefault portal domain when domain is omitted from tool calls (e.g. data.seattle.gov, data.cityofnewyork.us).
  • SOCRATA_DATAFRAME_DROP_ENABLEDSet to true to enable socrata_dataframe_drop, which deletes staged DataCanvas data. Off, the tool is omitted from the tool list.
  • SOCRATA_CLAMP_LIMITSServe a limit above a tool's per-call cap at the cap, with a notice naming the offset that continues, instead of rejecting it. Set to false to restore each cap as the schema maximum.
  • MCP_LOG_LEVELSets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').

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.
