+GitHub Copilot CLI (and some other MCP clients) have issues with environment variables in MCP server configurations. Using CLI arguments (`--api-key`, `--user-id`) ensures compatibility across all MCP clients.

 ### Environment Variables
 
-- `MEM0_API_KEY` (required) – Mem0 platform API key.
+- `MEM0_API_KEY` (required if not using `--api-key`) – Mem0 platform API key.
 - `MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID` (optional) – default `user_id` injected into filters and write requests (defaults to `mem0-mcp`).
 - `MEM0_ENABLE_GRAPH_DEFAULT` (optional) – Enable graph memories by default (defaults to `false`).
+- `MEM0_DISABLE_DNS_REBINDING_PROTECTION` (optional) – Disable DNS rebinding protection for local development (defaults to `false`, protection enabled).
 - `MEM0_MCP_AGENT_MODEL` (optional) – default LLM for the bundled agent example (defaults to `openai:gpt-4o-mini`).
