# Maxar MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP lets you search for high-resolution satellite images, order specific data products, and grab OGC-compliant streaming endpoints. It connects your agent to Maxar's discovery service and ordering pipeline so you can find and get the earth intelligence you need without leaving your workspace.

## Description

This Connector lets you pull high-resolution satellite imagery and geospatial data directly into your workflow. You can search through Maxar's catalogs using spatial boxes and time filters to find the exact coverage you need. Instead of jumping between different websites and portals, you can ask your agent to find specific satellite collections, like WorldView-3, and check what's available. It handles the heavy lifting of ordering specific products, whether you need visual, multispectral, or panchromatic data, and sends them straight to your cloud storage. If you're building a custom dashboard or GIS app, it also pulls the base URLs for streaming services like WMS and WMTS. You can even grab detailed metadata for Analysis Ready Data tiles to keep your geospatial analysis accurate. It's a huge time saver for anyone who needs to move from "where is this data?" to "I have the data" in a single step. It's one of the many tools you can find in the Vinkius catalog to connect your agent to professional-grade earth intelligence.

## Tools

### create_order
Order specific visual, multispectral, or panchromatic imagery products. This is useful for automating data procurement to your cloud.

### get_mws_endpoints
Get Maxar Web Services (MWS) endpoints. Use this to quickly grab WMS and WMTS URLs for your GIS tools.

### list_order_pipelines
List available ordering pipelines. This helps you see which data products are available for your specific region.

### search_discovery
Search for available satellite imagery. Use this to filter the catalog by coordinates and date ranges.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find some satellite images of the San Francisco Bay Area from last year.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've searched the Maxar Discovery Service for the San Francisco Bay Area. I found 12 high-resolution images from the WorldView-3 collection captured between January and December 2023. Most have less than 5% cloud cover. Would you like me to show you the specific dates for these?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the streaming endpoints for Maxar Web Services?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've retrieved the OGC endpoints for you. Here are the base URLs:

* **WMS:** `https://securewatch.maxar.com/mapservice/wms...`
* **WMTS:** `https://securewatch.maxar.com/mapservice/wmts...` 

You'll need to add your credentials to these URLs to use them in your GIS software.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Get me the metadata for ARD tile 1234567890.
```

**Response:** 
```
Fetching metadata for tile 1234567890... 

This tile is part of the **'Bay Area'** dataset, processed on **2024-01-10**. It contains 8-band multispectral data and has been orthorectified to UTM Zone 10N.
```

## Capabilities

### Search for satellite imagery
Find specific images using spatial bounding boxes and temporal filters.

### Order data products
Request visual, multispectral, or panchromatic imagery to your cloud storage.

### Get streaming endpoints
Retrieve OGC-compliant base URLs for WMS and WMTS services.

### Retrieve ARD metadata
Get detailed tile information for Analysis Ready Data.

### List ordering pipelines
View all available methods for requesting data products.

## Use Cases

### Finding specific regional data
An analyst needs to find images of a flood zone from last month. They ask the agent to search a specific bbox for the latest imagery.

### Automating ML data collection
A data scientist needs 1,000 images for a model. They have the agent find and order specific multispectral products automatically.

### Building a custom map
A developer needs to show live satellite feeds. They ask the agent for WMS endpoints to plug into their web map.

### Verifying data specs
A researcher needs to know the bands on a specific tile. They ask the agent to pull metadata for a specific ARD tile ID.

## Benefits

- Stop hunting through catalogs manually. Use search_discovery to find specific satellite collections like WorldView-3 in seconds.
- Order data products directly. Use create_order to send visual or multispectral imagery to your cloud storage without leaving your agent.
- Get streaming URLs instantly. Use get_mws_endpoints to grab WMS and WMTS base URLs for your GIS tools or custom dashboards.
- Access precise ARD metadata. Use the tools to pull tile details for your geospatial analysis to ensure data accuracy.
- Automate data procurement. Use list_order_pipelines to see what's available and build automated workflows for training data.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get direct access to Maxar's professional imagery catalog through a single chat interface.

1. Subscribe to the Connector and provide your Maxar Client ID and Secret.
2. Connect the Connector to your agent via your preferred client.
3. Ask your agent to find, order, or stream imagery based on your coordinates.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I do with the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP?**
You can use it to search for high-resolution satellite images, order specific data products like multispectral imagery, and get streaming endpoints for your GIS tools.

**How does the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP help with GIS maps?**
It allows your agent to pull OGC-compliant base URLs for WMS and WMTS services, making it much faster to integrate live satellite feeds into your custom dashboards.

**Can I use the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP to order data?**
Yes, you can use it to request specific visual or multispectral imagery products and have them sent directly to your cloud storage.

**Who should use the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP?**
It's designed for geospatial analysts, data scientists building ML models, and GIS developers who need to automate the retrieval of professional satellite data.

**How do I get metadata using the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP?**
You can simply ask your agent to pull the metadata for a specific Analysis Ready Data tile, and it will return the processing date, bands, and coordinate system.

**How do I search for satellite imagery in a specific geographic area?**
You can use the `search_discovery` tool by providing a bounding box (bbox) array with [min_lon, min_lat, max_lon, max_lat] coordinates and an optional datetime interval.

**Can I get streaming links for use in GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS?**
