What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ENGRAM_DB_PATH (SQLite database path (default: <data dir>/engram.db, i.e. ~/.local/share/engram/engram.db)), ENGRAM_MCP_PORT (Port of the optional engram HTTP daemon to bridge to (default 9907)), ENGRAM_MCP_TOKEN (Bearer token forwarded to the HTTP daemon when it requires one), ENGRAM_MCP_STANDALONE (Set to 1 to never bridge: always run the full server in-process). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
