This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE (Selects the HTTP transport.), 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 (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').), DATACITE_CONTACT_EMAIL (Contact email sent in the User-Agent as mailto: (never a URL parameter). Moves requests to DataCite's identified tier (1,000 per 5 minutes per IP instead of 500). Set it on any hosted deployment.), DATACITE_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_5MIN (Request budget per 5-minute window, 50-1000. Default 800 with a contact email, 400 without; divide it across replicas sharing one egress IP.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
