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.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
CLAUDE_CLI_PATH (Path to the claude CLI binary. Defaults to 'claude' on PATH), CLAUDE_DEFAULT_MODEL (Shared default model for all tools. Overridden by per-tool CLAUDE_<TOOL>_MODEL vars (QUERY, SEARCH, STRUCTURED)), CLAUDE_QUERY_MODEL (Override model for the query tool), CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_MODEL (Override model for the structured tool), CLAUDE_SEARCH_MODEL (Override model for the search tool), CLAUDE_FALLBACK_MODEL (Model to use when the primary model hits a quota error. Set to 'none' to disable fallback), CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT (Maximum concurrent Claude CLI subprocesses (default 3)), CLAUDE_BRIDGE_USE_API_KEY (Set to '1' to forward ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the CLI. Default is subscription-first: the CLI uses existing Max/Pro session and API key is NOT forwarded. Opt in only if you want API billing), CLAUDE_MAX_BUDGET_USD (Maximum USD spend per call (pass-through to --max-budget-usd). Only applies when using API key auth), CLAUDE_QUERY_TOOLS (Built-in tools the query subprocess may use. Comma or space separated list, 'default' for the CLI's full built-in set, or empty for no tools. The default withholds Bash, Write and Edit; widening it grants real capability in the caller-supplied working directory), CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_TOOLS (Built-in tools the structured subprocess may use. Same format and caveats as CLAUDE_QUERY_TOOLS), CLAUDE_SEARCH_TOOLS (Built-in tools the search subprocess may use. Same format and caveats as CLAUDE_QUERY_TOOLS), CLAUDE_QUERY_EFFORT (Reasoning effort for the query tool (low|medium|high|max)), CLAUDE_SEARCH_EFFORT (Reasoning effort for the search tool (low|medium|high|max)).
