        path: path.join(baseDir, key),

  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SNAPMCP_DIR (Output directory for captures), SNAPMCP_THEME (Shiki syntax highlighting theme (27 built-in themes, auto-detected terminal theme when unset)), SNAPMCP_FORMAT (Output image format: png or jpeg), SNAPMCP_QUALITY (JPEG quality (1-100, only used for JPEG)), SNAPMCP_SHADOW (Drop shadow level: none, soft, medium, strong), SNAPMCP_ALLOWED_PATHS (Comma- or semicolon-separated allowlist of file paths readable by capture_file (deny-all when unset)), SNAPMCP_SSRF_PROTECTION (Block requests to private IP ranges (DNS-resolved, IPv4 + IPv6). Default: true), SNAPMCP_CHROME_EXECUTABLE (Path to a system Chrome/Chromium binary to use for browser captures), SNAPMCP_CHROME_PROFILE (Chrome profile directory to use for browser captures (persistent context)).
