 ## `RENOVATE_X_MERGE_CONFIDENCE_API_BASE_URL`
 
 If set, Renovate will query this API for Merge Confidence data.
+
+If you use the Mend Renovate Enterprise Edition (Renovate EE) and:
+
+- have a static merge confidence token that you set via `MEND_RNV_MC_TOKEN`
+- _or_ set `MEND_RNV_MC_TOKEN` to `auto`
+
+Then you must set this variable at the _server_ and the _workers_.
+
+But if you have specified the token as a [`matchConfidence`](https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#matchconfidence) `hostRule`, you only need to set this variable at the _workers_.
+
 This feature is in private beta.
