Frequently asked questions
Usno Astronomy is categorized under Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Water Levels belongs to Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Usno Astronomy for aerospace & astrodynamics work and Water Levels for aerospace & astrodynamics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Usno Astronomy has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Water Levels has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add usno-astronomy and water-levels as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
