### Configure Debug Logging for MCP Server

Source: https://context7.com/ibm-apiconnect/apic-mcp-server/llms.txt

Enables verbose logging by setting the LOG_LEVEL environment variable to 'debug' in the MCP server configuration. Logs are automatically rotated and stored in the user's home directory.

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "apic-analytics-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "${input:tarPath}", "apic-analytics-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PROVIDER_ORG": "${input:pOrg}",
        "API_KEY": "${input:api-key}",
        "client_id": "${input:cID}",
        "client_secret": "${input:cSecret}",
        "APIC_PLATFORM_URL": "${input:platformUrl}",
        "APIC_MANAGEMENT_URL": "${input:managementUrl}",
        "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED": "1",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Disable TLS Validation for Self-Signed Certificates

Source: https://context7.com/ibm-apiconnect/apic-mcp-server/llms.txt

Configures the MCP server to bypass TLS certificate validation by setting NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED to '0'. This is required when connecting to API Connect instances using self-signed certificates.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apic-analytics-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "/path/to/package.tgz", "apic-analytics-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED": "0",
        "PROVIDER_ORG": "my-provider-org",
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "client_id": "your-client-id",
        "client_secret": "your-client-secret",
        "APIC_PLATFORM_URL": "https://platform.apic.local",
        "APIC_MANAGEMENT_URL": "https://management.apic.local"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
