Credentials from the publisher

ANIMICA_API_KEY — Optional Animica API key (anm_live_...) for higher AI rate limits. The server works without it.
ANIMICA_RPC_URL — Animica node JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only allow-listed methods only).
ANIMICA_BASE_URL — OpenAI-compatible /v1 base URL used for AI inference (chat, models, embeddings). https://animica.dev/v1 is the free keyless endpoint.
ANIMICA_POOL_URL — Mining-pool stats API base URL.
ANIMICA_BEACON_URL — Quantum randomness beacon base URL (/beacon/* endpoints).
ANIMICA_MODEL — Default model id for the animica_ai_ask tool.
ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S — HTTP timeout in seconds for backend calls. The network is volunteer-served, so allow generous time.

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
