Requirements:\n\n- Device running the MCP must be on the Starlink LAN (or have a route to `192.168.100.1`)\n- No credentials or API keys needed\n- GPS location requires opt-in: Starlink app \u003e Settings \u003e Advanced \u003e Debug Data\n- The dish's 192.168.100.1 address is not configurable\n\n### Starlink router (default)\n\nWorks out of the box. The dish, router, and your devices are all on the same network.\n\n### Third-party router in bypass mode (UniFi, pfSense, etc.)\n\nIn bypass mode, the Starlink router hands its CGNAT WAN IP to your router's WAN interface. The dish management interface (`192.168.100.1`) sits on a **separate `/24` subnet** on the WAN side — your router won't know how to reach it without a static route.\n\n**Static route configuration (UniFi example):**\n\nUniFi Network \u003e Settings \u003e Routing \u003e Static Routes:\n\n| Field | Value |\n|-------|-------|\n| Destination | `192.168.100.0/24` |\n| Next Hop | WAN interface (Starlink-facing port) |\n| Distance | 1 |\n\nSome router firmware also requires a secondary IP on the WAN interface in the `192.168.100.0/24` range (e.g. `192.168.100.2/24`) for traffic to egress on that subnet. This depends on whether your firmware handles interface-scoped routes correctly — UniFi has been inconsistent here across versions.\n\nOnce the route is in place, both `192.168.100.1:9200` (gRPC) and `192.168.100.1:80` (Starlink web UI) become reachable from your LAN.\n\n### Remote / headless sites\n\nRun the MCP server on any host that can reach `192.168.100.1` — a local machine, a container on a NAS, or any device on the Starlink-connected network.\n\n## Security Model\n\n- **No credentials stored or transmitted** — the dish gRPC endpoint is unauthenticated by design\n- **LAN-only access** — the gRPC interface is not exposed to the internet\n- **Write operations double-gated** — environment variable + per-call confirmation\n- **No telemetry or phone-home** — all data stays local between the MCP server and the dish\n- **No cloud API dependency** — works during internet outages (ideal for monitoring them)\n\n## Token Efficiency\n\nThe `starlink_history` tool returns statistical summaries (min/avg/max per metric) rather than raw per-second samples. A 900-second window produces ~8 lines of output vs ~5,400 lines of raw data.\n\n```\nHistory Summary (last 60 samples, 1s intervals)\n\nmetric          min      avg      max   unit\n--------------------------------------------\nping_drop     0.0000   0.0021   0.0150\nlatency         22.1     34.5     89.2     ms\ndown             0.5     45.2    120.3   Mbps\nup               0.1      8.4     25.1   Mbps\npower           48.2     52.1     58.9      W\nsnr              7.8      9.2     10.1     dB\n```\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/groupthink-dev/starlink-blade-mcp\ncd starlink-blade-mcp\n\n# Install with dev dependencies\nmake install-dev\n\n# Run quality checks\nmake check\n\n# Run tests (mocked — no dish required)\nmake test\n\n# Run e2e tests (requires live dish on LAN)\nmake test-e2e\n\n# Run with coverage\nmake test-cov\n```\n\n## Sidereal Marketplace\n\nThis MCP is available as a certified plugin in the [Sidereal Marketplace](https://sidereal.cc/marketplace).
