The form opens with CHANGE_ME for each value you supply: OPENAI_API_KEY, ALEXANDRIA_BASE_URL, ALEXANDRIA_API_KEY, CORE_API_KEY, COURTLISTENER_API_KEY, GOVINFO_API_KEY, GOOGLE_BOOKS_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, NASA_ADS_API_KEY, EUROPEANA_API_KEY, SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY. Fill them in before you deploy.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
