Put your own value in place of <METABASE_URL> (Metabase base URL, e.g. https://metabase.example.com). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: METABASE_API_KEY (Metabase API key (or set METABASE_EMAIL + METABASE_PASSWORD)), METABASE_EMAIL (Login email (alternative to an API key)), METABASE_PASSWORD (Login password (alternative to an API key)), METABASE_READ_ONLY_MODE (true hides all write tools), METABASE_TOOLSETS (Comma list of toolsets or presets (all, query, content, admin)), METABASE_TOOLS_ENABLE (Extra tools to enable (names or globs)), METABASE_TOOLS_DISABLE (Tools to disable (names or globs); always wins), METABASE_CUSTOM_HEADERS (Extra headers for every Metabase request (e.g. Cloudflare Access)).
