PocketBase Configuration
To enable the PocketBase collections tool, you must provide the following configuration either as command line arguments or environment variables:
--pb-url=<url>orPB_URL- The URL of your PocketBase instance (e.g., http://localhost:8090)--pb-admin-email=<email>orPB_ADMIN_EMAIL- Admin email for authentication--pb-admin-password=<password>orPB_ADMIN_PASSWORD- Admin password for authentication
If using environment variables, you can set them like this:
export PB_URL=http://localhost:8090
export PB_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
export PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-secure-password
Example using command line arguments:
node build/index.js --pb-url=http://localhost:8090 --pb-admin-email=admin@example.com --pb-admin-password=your-secure-password
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
