Environment
| Name | Required | Notes |
|---|
| FS_ACCESS_TOKEN | No | Access token from your own registered FamilySearch application. The place gazetteer and collection catalogue work without one. Secret. |
| FS_ENV_FILE | No | Env file to read settings from and to re-read a refreshed token from mid-session. Defaults to the nearest .env from the working directory upward. |
| FS_CLIENT_ID | No | Your registered application's client id, reported by auth_status. |
| FS_ENVIRONMENT | No | production, or integration for the FamilySearch sandbox. |
| FS_TIMEOUT | No | HTTP timeout in seconds. |
Tools show up when the registry metadata or the repository README lists them. GitHub enrichment fills this in when a token is configured.
