About Copernicus Data Space MCP Server
Connect to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and unlock the world's largest open Earth observation archive directly from your AI agent.
Pydantic AI validates every Copernicus Data Space tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 14 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
What you can do
- Product Discovery — Search across Sentinel-1 (radar), Sentinel-2 (optical), Sentinel-3 (ocean/land), Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), and Sentinel-6 (altimetry) collections with temporal, spatial, and attribute filters
- Geographic Search — Find satellite products covering any location on Earth using bounding box coordinates or WKT polygon geometries
- Orbit-Based Queries — Retrieve data from specific satellite orbits for interferometry, change detection, and repeat-pass analysis
- Product Inspection — Access complete metadata, quicklook previews, and internal file structure for any product
- Download Orchestration — Generate authenticated download URLs with time-limited Bearer tokens for direct product retrieval
- Data Volume Assessment — Count products matching your criteria before executing full searches
The Copernicus Data Space MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
All 14 Copernicus Data Space tools available for Pydantic AI
When Pydantic AI connects to Copernicus Data Space through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning satellite-imagery, geospatial-analysis, earth-observation, and more. Every call is secured with network, filesystem, subprocess, and code evaluation entitlements inside a sandboxed runtime. Beyond a simple connection, you get a full AI Gateway with real-time visibility into agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.
Returns the connection status. Use this to verify your client_id:client_secret credentials are working correctly. Verify Copernicus Data Space API connectivity and authentication
Useful for understanding data volume before executing a full search, or for monitoring data availability trends. Count total products available for a collection and date range
Use collection names like "SENTINEL-2", "SENTINEL-1", or "SENTINEL-3". Get details about a specific Copernicus collection
Returns name, sensing time, footprint geometry, file size, checksum, and all associated attributes. Use this after searching to inspect a specific product before downloading. Get detailed metadata for a specific satellite product by UUID
Returns the direct download URL along with a Bearer token valid for approximately one hour. Use this to download raw satellite data products (typically in SAFE format for Sentinel data). Generate an authenticated download URL for a product
Useful for understanding the product structure and accessing thumbnail previews without downloading the full product. Get quicklook preview and file nodes for a product
This helps you understand what filtering parameters are available (e.g., cloud cover percentage, orbit direction, processing level) for refining product searches. List available metadata attributes for a collection
Includes Sentinel-1 (radar), Sentinel-2 (optical), Sentinel-3 (ocean/land), Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), Sentinel-6 (altimetry), and complementary missions like Landsat. Each entry includes temporal coverage and description. List all available Copernicus satellite data collections
Useful for monitoring new data availability or checking processing pipeline status. List the most recently published satellite products
Returns the hierarchy of files including measurement data, metadata XML, quicklook images, and auxiliary data. Essential for understanding product structure before selective download. List all files contained within a satellite product
Combines spatial filtering with collection and temporal constraints. Ideal for region-specific analysis workflows. Search satellite products within a geographic bounding box
Useful for finding specific orbits, tiles (e.g., "T33UUP" for Sentinel-2 tile), or granule identifiers. Returns product metadata ordered by sensing date. Search satellite products by name pattern
Especially useful for Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) repeat-pass analysis, interferometry, and change detection workflows where you need data from the exact same orbit geometry. Search satellite products by orbit number
Specify a collection name (e.g., "SENTINEL-2", "SENTINEL-1"), a date range in YYYY-MM-DD format, and optionally an area of interest as a WKT polygon. Returns product metadata including name, footprint, size, and publication date. Maximum 20 results by default. Search Sentinel satellite products by collection, date range, and area
