From the project's README

As published by arneffm/animal-checklist-agents in README.md. This repository publishes several servers, so only the opening is shown here.

Animal Checklist offers two remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP.

Server	URL	Access
Species catalogue	`https://animalchecklist.com/mcp`	Public, read only
Your account	`https://animalchecklist.com/mcp/account`	Personal MCP key

The public server searches animal species and returns names, habitats, countries, photos and source credits. The account server also reads your synced sightings. A read-write key can mark a catalogue species seen.

Create a personal key on your Account page. Choose a read key unless your MCP app must mark animals seen. Copy the key when it appears; Animal Checklist shows it only once. Remove it from the same page when you no longer use the app. Keys expire after 90 days.

Configure the account server with this HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY

Keep the key in your MCP client's secret store. Do not commit it to a repository. The public mcp.json contains only the keyless catalogue server because the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 format does not define portable secret references.

Shortened here. Read the whole README on GitHub.
