Environment variables
  • OITC_APIKEYrequiredsecretAPI key of a dedicated, least-privilege openITCOCKPIT user. This server presents it to openITCOCKPIT; it is never handed to a client.
  • OITC_BASEURLrequiredBase URL of the openITCOCKPIT instance, e.g. https://openitcockpit.example.org - without a path.
  • OITC_TRANSPORTTransport mode. The image defaults to 'http', which additionally requires MCP_AUTH_TOKEN and a published port; a client that runs this container itself wants 'stdio'.
  • OITC_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLSRegister the 15 tools that change the monitoring configuration. Off by default: they are not even registered unless this is 'true'.
  • OITC_VERIFY_TLSVerify the openITCOCKPIT TLS certificate. On by default; for a self-signed instance set OITC_CA_BUNDLE rather than turning this off.

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.
