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.

      child = spawn(options.binary, [...options.args], {

    const logPath = path.join(runDir(ctx.config.stateDir, runId), 'worker.log');

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: GROK_BINARY (Path to the grok executable. Only needed when grok is not on PATH), GROK_MCP_PERMISSION_CEILING (Highest permission level any call may request. Granted once at registration and never prompts again), GROK_MCP_DEFAULT_PERMISSION (Permission level used when a call specifies none. Must be at or below the ceiling), GROK_MCP_DEFAULT_MODEL (Model used when a call omits one), GROK_MCP_DEFAULT_EFFORT (Reasoning effort used when a call omits one), GROK_MCP_TIMEOUT_MS (Wall-clock kill for a single run, in milliseconds), GROK_MCP_STATE_DIR (Directory for background job records. Defaults to $XDG_STATE_HOME/grok-mcp), GROK_MCP_MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS (Background runs alive at once. Use off, none, or unlimited for no cap), STRUCTURED_CONTENT_ENABLED (Emit structuredContent alongside _meta. Off by default because some clients mishandle it).
