Put your own value in place of <TRILIUM_BASE_URL> (Base URL of the TriliumNext instance, e.g. http://localhost:8080). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: TRILIUM_ETAPI_TOKEN (ETAPI token. Required unless TRILIUM_PASSWORD is set. Create one in Trilium under Options → ETAPI), TRILIUM_PASSWORD (Alternative to TRILIUM_ETAPI_TOKEN — BrainLLM mints a token on first start and caches it beside brainllm.json), BRAINLLM_MODE (core (default) exposes the 45 brain-aware tools; full additionally exposes the 33 raw ETAPI tools), BRAINLLM_TZ (IANA timezone used to stamp dated notes, e.g. Africa/Johannesburg. Defaults to the host timezone), BRAINLLM_OWNER_PASSWORD (Enables the OAuth 2.1 / CIMD endpoints required by claude.ai and other hosted Claude surfaces. This is the password entered on the consent screen when authorizing a client), BRAINLLM_OAUTH_SECRET (Optional 32+ character deployment secret for signing OAuth tokens; rotate it to invalidate old tokens), BRAINLLM_PUBLIC_URL (Override for the public origin when a proxy rewrites Host. Must exactly match the URL entered in the client), BRAINLLM_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_HTTP (Explicit trusted-network-only escape hatch for HTTP mode. Never enable on a public interface), BRAINLLM_TRUST_PROXY (Trust forwarded host/protocol headers for OAuth discovery only when a trusted reverse proxy sets them).
