Install / run

npx -y @sendinel/mcp-server@latest

The package also exposes the legacy bin alias:

npx -y sendinel-mcp

Required environment

• SENDINEL_API_KEY

Optional server-side env when you run the package outside the main Sendinel app environment:

• SUPABASE_URL or NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL
• SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY
• MCP_TRANSPORT (stdio by default, http for HTTP/SSE mode)
• MCP_SERVER_PORT (HTTP mode only)

Stdio mode fails closed if SENDINEL_API_KEY is missing or invalid.
