All configuration is done via environment variables, typically set in the env block of your MCP config.
Variables

Poll Settings
The MCP client uses an async task pattern with exponential backoff:
- LEEROOPEDIA_POLL_MAX_WAIT — Increase if searches frequently time out
- LEEROOPEDIA_POLL_INTERVAL — The initial poll interval. Grows by 1.5x, capped at 5s
Setting LEEROOPEDIA_POLL_MAX_WAIT too low may cause timeouts on complex queries. The default of 300 seconds works well for most use cases.
Custom API URL
For self-hosted or staging environments, override the API URL by setting LEEROOPEDIA_API_URL in your MCP config env block.
