# Upstream Lens MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Upstream Lens gives your AI agent direct access to your Upstream Tech Lens account. It lets you query satellite imagery, manage conservation portfolios, and pull field observations from the ground without switching tabs. Whether you're tracking environmental changes or managing large-scale conservation assets, this Connector connects your data to your workspace so you can stay focused on your conservation goals. ## Overview - **Category:** data-analytics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_KabIvWnL2u3zYtDi13sgjKCwgCJFWT5cviNmy5cg/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** satellite-imagery, environmental-monitoring, remote-sensing, geospatial-data, conservation, data-analysis ## Description Upstream Lens allows you to bring your environmental data directly into your conversation with your AI agent. Monitoring conservation projects usually involves juggling multiple dashboards, constant tab-switching, and manually cross-referencing satellite data with field notes. If you're managing a conservation project, you want to know what's happening on the ground without digging through spreadsheets. This Connector changes that by turning your static data into a dynamic conversation. Instead of hunting for a specific property's imagery or trying to remember which project notes were updated last week, you can just ask your agent to find them for you. You can pull up entire portfolios to see your active assets or drill down into specific property features to see what the latest ground-truth data says. It acts as a bridge, making it much easier to see the so what of your data faster, whether that's identifying a change in a property feature or keeping a clean record of environmental observations over time. Because Vinkius makes it easy to manage these connections, you can set it up once and then let your agent do the heavy lifting of organizing your project observations and verifying your account configurations. It removes the friction of manual data retrieval, letting you focus on making informed decisions about your conservation sites and environmental impact. ## Tools ### get_property_details Get specific details for a property feature to understand its current state. This helps you quickly verify ground-truth data. ### check_api_health Check the status of your Lens API to ensure your connection is active. It's the quickest way to troubleshoot data issues. ### list_property_imagery See which satellite imagery layers like Sentinel or Landsat are available for a property. This saves you from searching through manuals. ### list_project_notes Pull a list of project observations and notes, which can be filtered by update date. This keeps your latest field data front and center. ### list_project_observations Get a detailed list of project observations to track ground-truth data. Use this to see exactly what happened on-site. ### list_portfolios List all your portfolios to manage your conservation assets more efficiently. It gives you a high-level view of your entire operation. ### get_organization_info Retrieve your organization's metadata to verify account settings. Use this to ensure your profile is correctly configured. ### list_projects List every environmental project in your account to get a high-level overview. This is your starting point for portfolio management. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active environmental projects in my Lens account. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your projects. You have access to: * **Amazon Rainforest Restoration** * **Coral Reef Protection** * **Midwest Soil Health** Which one would you like to inspect? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me the latest field notes for the 'Amazon Restoration' project. ``` **Response:** ``` I've fetched the project notes. There are 2 recent observations: * **Tree growth rate 15% higher than Q3** * **New sensor installed at station B** Shall I retrieve the previous history? ``` **Prompt:** ``` List available satellite imagery layers for property 'feat_10293'. ``` **Response:** ``` I found 3 available imagery layers for property feat_10293: * **Sentinel-2 (True Color)** * **Sentinel-2 (NDVI)** * **Landsat 8** The most recent capture was yesterday. Shall I retrieve the download metadata? ``` ## Capabilities ### Query satellite imagery layers Check what imagery is available for a specific property like Sentinel or Landsat. ### Pull project field notes Get the latest observations and notes for specific conservation projects. ### Manage conservation portfolios List all your active portfolios and assets in one go. ### Inspect property features Retrieve specific details and metadata for property features. ### Verify account configurations Check your organization profile and API health. ## Use Cases ### Auditing active conservation sites A Conservation Manager needs to see all active sites. They ask the agent to list all portfolios and projects to get a status report. ### Verifying property metadata An Analyst needs to check a specific plot. They use get_property_details to see the current metadata for a land feature. ### Checking imagery readiness A team wants to check if new data is ready. They use list_property_imagery to see if Sentinel-2 is available for a specific plot. ### Reviewing recent field notes A manager wants to see progress on a project. They ask the agent to list project notes filtered by date to see recent updates. ## Benefits - Stop switching tabs by using list_projects to see your entire portfolio in one chat window. - Get instant answers on imagery availability with list_property_imagery instead of searching a manual. - Keep your records organized by pulling specific notes using list_project_notes during meetings. - Verify your setup quickly with get_organization_info and check_api_health to ensure data is flowing. - Track ground-truth changes easily by using list_project_observations to see what's happening on-site. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire Upstream Tech Lens data set. 1. Subscribe to the Upstream Lens MCP on the Vinkius marketplace. 2. Provide your Upstream Tech Lens API Key into your configuration. 3. Ask your AI agent to list projects, check imagery, or summarize field notes. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What does the Upstream Lens MCP do for my conservation projects?** It connects your Upstream Tech Lens data to your AI agent so you can query project notes, check satellite imagery, and manage your portfolios using natural language. **Can I use Upstream Lens MCP to see satellite imagery?** Yes, you can ask your agent to list all available imagery layers for a specific property, such as Sentinel or Landsat data. **How does the Upstream Lens MCP help with environmental monitoring?** It allows you to quickly pull project observations and field notes, making it easier to track changes and ground-truth data over time. **Can I manage my conservation portfolios with Upstream Lens MCP?** Yes, you can use it to list all your portfolios and environmental projects to get a high-level overview of your assets. **Does Upstream Lens MCP work with Claude or Cursor?** It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, as long as you have your Upstream Tech Lens API key. **How do I check if my Upstream Lens MCP connection is working?** You can simply ask your agent to check the API health, and it will verify your connection to the Lens platform. **Can I see if new satellite images are available for my project?** Yes! Use the `list_property_imagery` tool and provide the Property ID. Your agent will retrieve all available imagery layers (Sentinel, Landsat, etc.) with their respective capture dates. **How do I retrieve field notes for a specific conservation project?** Run the `list_project_notes` query with your Project ID. You can also provide an optional timestamp to filter only notes updated after a specific date. **Is it possible to see the geospatial metadata for a property feature?** Absolutely. Use the `get_property_details` tool with the Feature ID to retrieve detailed geospatial data and metadata for any monitored property.
