## Environment variables

| Name | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `SP_API_TOKEN` | no | yes | Personal API token from the API Token screen in the Simplepush app. Set this or SP_INTEGRATION_TOKEN. |
| `SP_INTEGRATION_TOKEN` | no | yes | Organization integration token from `sp integration create`. Set this or SP_API_TOKEN; unlocks member, topic and broadcast targeting and end-to-end encryption. |
| `SP_KEYS` | no | yes | Personal encryption keys exported from the app, comma-separated: a bare base64 key is the Personal Password key, `topic=key` binds a key to one topic. |
| `SP_BASE_URL` | no | no | API origin. |
| `SP_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS` | no | no | Ceiling on how long send_task may block waiting for answers. |

## FAQ

### How can I send a task and wait for a response?

Use the `send_task` tool, which can take various inputs like text, choices, photos, or voice recordings and waits for answers.

### Can I search through previous tasks and submissions?

Yes, the `search_knowledge` tool allows for full-text and location-based searches over all tasks, notifications, and ad-hoc submissions.

### Is my data secure?

Yes, the server supports end-to-end encryption for organizations and allows personal encryption using keys exported from the Simplepush app.

### What happens if a task times out?

A timeout is not a cancellation; the questions remain live on phones and answers can be retrieved later.
