CI example

Section titled “CI example”
Terminal window
export ANYCAP_API_KEY="$CI_ANYCAP_API_KEY"
export ANYCAP_NO_UPDATE=1
anycap status

Store the API key in the CI provider’s secret manager. Do not commit it or print it to logs.

Isolated config example

Section titled “Isolated config example”
Terminal window
export ANYCAP_CONFIG_DIR="$PWD/.anycap-ci"
anycap status

Add that directory to .gitignore when it lives inside a working tree.

MCP root list

Section titled “MCP root list”

Use the platform path-list separator: : on Unix-like systems and ; on Windows. Command-line --allow-root, this variable, and client-advertised roots form one effective set.
