Environment Variables

Available Tools

All tools declare an output schema and return structuredContent alongside the text block, so clients get typed results without re-parsing JSON out of text.

list_accounts

Returns all 2FA accounts accessible to this token.

Example response:

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "id": "924c52a6-4457-4970-a39f-4dc620217683",
      "name": "AWS Production",
      "issuerDomain": "amazon.com"
    }
  ]
}

get_otp

Generates a TOTP code for a specific account.

Parameters:

• account_id (string, optional) - UUID of the account

• account_name (string, optional) - Name or issuer domain to search for (case-insensitive partial match)

Provide either account_id or account_name. If multiple accounts match the name, the tool returns them in multipleMatches so you can retry with an account_id.

Example response:

{
  "name": "AWS Production",
  "code": "483920",
  "length": 6
}

Ambiguous match:

{
  "error": "Multiple accounts match 'aws'. Please be more specific or use account_id.",
  "length": 0,
  "multipleMatches": [
    {
      "id": "924c52a6-4457-4970-a39f-4dc620217683",
      "name": "AWS Production",
      "issuerDomain": "amazon.com"
