Recommended action: Use plain ${VAR} placeholders with variables set (non-empty) in the environment Warp is launched with, or define the server in ~/.warp/.mcp.json with explicit env values; avoid ${VAR:-default} in files Warp imports.
Option: Use plain ${VAR} placeholders with variables set (non-empty) in the environment Warp is launched with, or define the server in ~/.warp/.mcp.json with explicit env values; avoid ${VAR:-default} in files Warp imports. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Warp auto-detecting MCP servers from ~/.claude.json, .mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, .agents/.mcp.json, .warp/.mcp.json
Steps:
1. Check Warp MCP logs for the missing variable name.
2. Export the variable where Warp inherits it (or launch Warp from a shell).
3. Replace ${VAR:-default} with ${VAR}.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
