The SDK is primarily a library. The CLI entry point exists so a new user typing python -m minerva gets a useful response rather than silence. 
python -m minerva           # banner + cheat-sheet
python -m minerva --help    # argparse help with usage epilog
python -m minerva --version # → minerva-sdk X.Y.Z
The cheat-sheet covers:
  • Credential resolution (constructor args vs env vars)
  • Quick examples for mc.api.resolve, mc.api.enrich, mc.api.call, mc.usage.tallies
  • The two resource namespaces (mc.api, mc.usage)
  • Where to dig deeper (help(Minerva) in REPL)

​
Env vars the SDK reads

VariablePurpose
MINERVA_API_KEYYour x-api-key. Required if you don’t pass api_key= to the constructor.
Just the one. The SDK never reads any other env var.
For per-method docs, REPL is faster than this docs site — help(mc.api.enrich) shows the exact signature, args, returns, raises, and an example for one method.
