Review any command before running it. Package names and URLs come from the server's own registry entry.

Package (oci)

Package: oci ghcr.io/tribal-memory/tribal:0.4.1

  • TRIBAL_DATABASE__URL required — Postgres (pgvector) connection string. Tribal is self-hosted; you provide the database. The supported, complete deployment is docker-compose.yml.
  • TRIBAL_PROJECT_REMOTE required — First-run only: the git remote that identifies the project bootstrapped on first start.
  • TRIBAL_PROJECT_NAME required — First-run only: the name of the project bootstrapped on first start.
  • TRIBAL_SERVER__TRANSPORT — Containerised transport: http or sse. The Docker image does not serve stdio; install the binary for stdio.
  • TRIBAL_SERVER__BIND_ADDRESS — Address the server binds inside the container. Must be 0.0.0.0 (not the loopback default) for the published port to be reachable.
  • TRIBAL_PUBLIC_MCP_URL — The URL clients use to reach the server (for example http://127.0.0.1:8725/mcp). Needed for OAuth dynamic client registration once the server binds a routable interface.
  • OPENAI_API_KEY secret — Optional; only if an ingest or retrieval stage is configured to use OpenAI (defaults target a local Ollama).
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret — Optional; only if a stage is configured to use Anthropic.

This server takes extra arguments — see its repository.
