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.

    const output = execSync(cmd, { encoding: 'utf-8', stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'] });

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI API key for embeddings. If not set, falls back to local Ollama.), NAN_FORGET_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER (Embedding provider: openai or ollama), NAN_FORGET_USER_ID (User identifier for multi-user setups), NAN_FORGET_PROJECT_ROOT (Project root used for local memory file sync and cleanup). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
