Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

The HTTP transport is stateless, so it speaks MCP revision `2026-07-28` (sessionless, `server/discover` instead of the `initialize` handshake). Every tool call is a self-contained Redmine API request,
Pass `--read-only=false` to override the environment variable or a `read_only: true` profile for a single invocation.
