Environment variables
| Name | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
NAB_SSRF_ALLOW_PRIVATE | Optional | Set to allow fetching private/internal IP addresses (corporate dashboards). Never unblocks loopback, link-local/cloud-metadata, or other always-denied ranges. Off by default. |
NAB_SSRF_ALLOWLIST | Optional | Comma-separated list of private IP/CIDR ranges to exempt from the SSRF guard (e.g. 10.252.0.0/16,192.168.1.5). Narrower, preferred alternative to NAB_SSRF_ALLOW_PRIVATE. Empty by default. |
NAB_WEBMCP_STRICT | Optional | Set to a truthy value to require fetched pages advertising a WebMCP manifest to match NAB_WEBMCP_OPT_IN before ingestion is allowed (defense against prompt injection via fetched content). Off by default. |
NAB_WEBMCP_OPT_IN | Optional | Comma-separated allowlist consulted when NAB_WEBMCP_STRICT is enabled. Empty by default. |
NAB_STATE_DIR | Optional | Overrides the directory used to persist session/cookie state (default: ~/.nab). |
NAB_KEYCHAIN_INTERACTION | Optional | Controls whether cookie extraction may prompt macOS Keychain for authorization. Set to 'never' in automated/headless callers so a background fetch cannot open a GUI dialog. |
NAB_OP_BIN | Optional | Path to the 1Password CLI binary used for credential retrieval during the login tool (default: op). |
NAB_MCP_CLI_BIN | Optional | Path to the mcp-cli binary used for MCP-based credential retrieval (default: mcp-cli). |
NAB_NO_TELEMETRY | Optional | Set to anything other than 0 or false to skip the daily heartbeat. NO_TELEMETRY and DO_NOT_TRACK do the same. |
NAB_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT | Optional | Replace the daily heartbeat URL. An empty value leaves the default. |
Tools
All capabilitiesTools show up when the registry metadata or the repository README lists them. Public READMEs are read directly. A GitHub token is used only when one is already configured.
