LucidLink runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 355 installs a week from pypi.
Read, write, search, lock and audit files in LucidLink filespaces, plus workspace admin tools.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check LucidLink every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

<LUCIDLINK_TOKEN> (LucidLink service-account token (sa_live:...). Minted by a workspace admin under Service Accounts).
The author’s registry entry marks it as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
LUCIDLINK_FILESPACE (Filespace to auto-link at first use. Leave empty when the account sees exactly one filespace), LUCIDLINK_MCP_TOOLSETS (Comma-separated tool planes. Empty = full file toolset. 'admin' adds workspace, member, group and permission tools (writes need Node.js 22+); 'core' trims to a minimal file set), LUCIDLINK_MCP_READ_ONLY (Set to 1 to expose only read, search and inspect tools).
