The package declares MCP_LOG_LEVEL: Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').; ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_HORIZONS: Register the astronomy_get_ephemeris tool, which fetches small-body and spacecraft ephemerides from JPL Horizons. Off by default; the core is keyless and offline.; ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_SATELLITES: Register the astronomy_get_satellite_passes tool, which predicts visible satellite passes from CelesTrak GP element sets propagated with SGP4. Off by default.; ASTRONOMY_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE: Fallback IANA timezone for observer-local output when a tool call omits timezone. Unset means UTC-only output..
