Environment / auth

MCP_LOG_LEVEL
Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_HORIZONS
Register the astronomy_get_ephemeris tool, which fetches small-body and spacecraft ephemerides from JPL Horizons. Off by default; the core is keyless and offline.
ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_SATELLITES
Register the astronomy_get_satellite_passes tool, which predicts visible satellite passes from CelesTrak GP element sets propagated with SGP4. Off by default.
ASTRONOMY_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE
Fallback IANA timezone for observer-local output when a tool call omits `timezone`. Unset means UTC-only output.
MCP_HTTP_HOST
The hostname for the HTTP server.
MCP_HTTP_PORT
The port to run the HTTP server on.
MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH
The endpoint path for the MCP server.
MCP_AUTH_MODE
