You can use gpgme to manage options.  Or on the command line use

 gpgconf --list-options gpg | awk -F: '$1=="keyserver" && $2!=1 {print $10}

You need to decode the output; in particular the leading '"' indicates
that a string follows which is percent escaped.

Assuming lookup takes a standard gpg user id, the _first_ one has one
hexdigit to much.
