How do I install Elevation?

Copy the http config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Elevation need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: MCP_LOG_LEVEL, OPENTOPODATA_BASE_URL, MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_PORT, MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH, MCP_AUTH_MODE.

What transport does Elevation use?

Elevation is reached over HTTP.

When was Elevation last checked?

Credentials from the publisher

MCP_LOG_LEVEL — Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
OPENTOPODATA_BASE_URL — Base URL of the Open Topo Data instance used outside USGS 3DEP coverage. Defaults to the public instance, paced to its published limits; any other URL is treated as a self-hosted instance, which must serve the srtm30m and mapzen datasets and accept at least 100 locations per request.

The Claude button above opens Claude with the name and URL filled in. You still confirm it there.
