Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
SCOPUS_API_KEY (Elsevier API key from dev.elsevier.com (required to start the server).), SCOPUS_INSTTOKEN (Institutional token for subscriber access off campus.), OPENALEX_API_KEY (Free OpenAlex key; raises the daily OpenAlex budget tenfold.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
