Environment variables
  • MCP_LOG_LEVELSets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
  • FCC_SPECTRUM_MIRROR_DIRDirectory for the local ULS index generations, current.json, the ingest lock, and temp zips. A relative path resolves against the working directory, so set an absolute path.
  • FCC_SPECTRUM_SERVICESComma list of weekly ULS service groups to index, case-insensitive. Opt-in: gmrs, ship, aircr.
  • FCC_SPECTRUM_REDACT_INDIVIDUALSRedact individual licensees and trustee names and exclude individuals from name search. Only false/0/no/off disables it.
  • FCC_SPECTRUM_BASE_URLULS bulk file host root, read at ingest time only.

A starting point — check the repository for exact arguments and setup. Restart your client after editing the config.
