Credentials from the publisher

MCP_TRANSPORT — Serve MCP over stdio (the image defaults to HTTP).
HIVE_USERNAME — The email address you log in to the Hive app with.
HIVE_PASSWORD — Your Hive password, used to log in and to log in again by itself as a remembered device.
HIVE_ALLOW_LOGIN_TOOLS — Let the assistant log in for you with an SMS code (hive_auth_start and hive_auth_complete).
HIVE_ALLOW_WRITES — Allow changes to your home: heating, boosts, hot water, holiday mode, plugs and lights. Off means read-only.
HIVE_MAX_TEMP — The highest heating target the assistant may set, in °C: 5 to 32 in steps of 0.5.
HIVE_TOOLSETS — Optional comma-separated toolsets to expose fewer tools, e.g. home,heating,hotwater. Empty means all but raw.
HIVE_AUDIT_LOG — Optional audit log of every change and login: stderr, or a file on the volume such as /data/audit.jsonl.
