Environment

Name	Required	Notes
UMBRA_CANOPY_TOKEN	No	Canopy API token. Set it and the same search tools query Umbra's authenticated commercial archive instead of the open bucket; leave it unset for the open data, which needs no credentials. Secret.
UMBRA_INDEX_DB	No	Path to a local catalog index (built with 'umbra index build' or fetched with 'umbra index fetch'). Without one the server walks the public bucket per search, which is correct but slow.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	No	Optional. With a key, describe_scene and narrate_change call a vision model on the server. Without one they return a reading kit (picture + SAR primer) so the client's own model does the reading. A public host must not set this. Secret.
OPENAI_API_KEY	No	Alternative provider for the same two model tools, and the encoder behind find_similar_text. Secret.
