Environment Variables

Troubleshooting

"npx: command not found"

Problem: Your IDE doesn't inherit the shell PATH where nvm/fnm is loaded.

Fix: Use the absolute path to npx. Find it with:

which npx
# Example output: /Users/you/.nvm/versions/node/v22.0.0/bin/npx

Then update your MCP config to use the absolute path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sota": {
      "command": "/Users/you/.nvm/versions/node/v22.0.0/bin/npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sota-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOTA_API_KEY": "sota_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

"SOTA_API_KEY environment variable is required"

Problem: The API key is not set in your MCP configuration.

Fix: Add the env block to your MCP server config. Shell environment variables do not automatically pass to MCP servers — the env block in the config is required:

{
  "env": {
    "SOTA_API_KEY": "sota_your_api_key_here"
  }
}

Connection refused or timeout errors

Problem: Network issue or wrong API URL.

Fix: Check your internet connection. If you're using a custom API URL, verify SOTA_API_URL is set correctly. The default is https://api.sota.io.
