This one needs environment variables set before it will start: 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_PUBLIC_URL (Public origin override for deployments behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (e.g. https://mcp.example.com).), 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').), NCBI_API_KEY (NCBI API key for higher rate limits (10 req/s vs 3 req/s).), NCBI_ADMIN_EMAIL (Contact email sent with NCBI requests (recommended by NCBI).), UNPAYWALL_EMAIL (Contact email for Unpaywall. When set, pubmed_fetch_fulltext falls back to Unpaywall open-access copies for DOIs not in PMC.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
