Environment

Name	Required	Notes
BUDGETARY_API_KEY	Yes	Budgetary API key (bg_live_ or bg_test_ prefix). Get one at https://budgetary.tools. Secret.
BUDGETARY_HOST	No	Optional tag naming the MCP host this server runs under — e.g. claude-code, cursor, codex, copilot. It labels each estimate with where it came from, and an explicit value overrides the host name the MCP handshake reports. Free-form; defaults to "mcp" when unset.
