FAQ from Satellite Tracking MCP Server

What is the N2YO API?

The N2YO API is a service that provides access to satellite tracking data.

How do I get an N2YO API key?

You can obtain an API key from the N2YO API Services website (https://www.n2yo.com/api/).

What are the API key limitations?

The N2YO API has usage limits based on your subscription plan, such as a limited number of requests per hour.

What do I do if I encounter an API key error?

Ensure your N2YO API key is valid and correctly set in the environment variables.

What do I do if I encounter rate limiting errors?

The server will automatically retry with exponential backoff, but you may need to wait before making additional requests.
