What the code does
We read the source, 1 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.
# Defaults let the server start for tools/list introspection (Glama, MCP Inspector). # Real usage must override both with the customer's credentials: # docker run -e BD_API_KEY=... -e BD_API_URL=https://site.com IMAGE ENV BD_API_KEY=placeholder
