What satellites are covered by this integration?

The server provides access to Sentinel-2 (high resolution), Sentinel-1 (radar), Landsat 8 and 9 (historical and medium res), and MODIS (high temporal resolution).

How do I calculate the NDVI for a specific field?

Use the `create_vegetation_task` tool. You need to provide the `index_type` as 'NDVI', the `dataset_id` (e.g., 'sentinel2'), and the `aoi` (Area of Interest) coordinates in GeoJSON format.

Is the area of interest (AOI) required for searches?

For general searches, it is optional but highly recommended to narrow down results. For index calculation tasks (`create_vegetation_task`), the AOI is mandatory to define the target area.

About EOSDA Agriculture Satellite Data MCP Server

Empower your AI agent with cutting-edge remote sensing capabilities via the EOSDA Agriculture MCP server. This integration provides instant access to high-resolution satellite data from Sentinel and Landsat missions, specifically processed for precision farming. Your agent can search for imagery across global datasets, calculate vegetation indices like NDVI, EVI, and MSAVI, and monitor soil moisture trends over time. Whether you are optimizing fertilizer application, auditing crop health, or monitoring land use, your agent acts as a dedicated agronomist and remote sensing specialist through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings EOSDA Agriculture Satellite Data data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Satellite Imagery Search — Search Sentinel-2, Landsat 8/9, and MODIS datasets by date and area of interest.
Vegetation Indices — Trigger processing tasks for NDVI (health), EVI (biomass), and other critical indices.
Health Monitoring — Retrieve processed results to identify areas of stress or high productivity in fields.
Dataset Intelligence — Access technical specs for available satellites including resolution and revisit times.
AOI Analysis — Input GeoJSON areas of interest to get localized intelligence for specific farms or regions.

The EOSDA Agriculture Satellite Data MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

EOSDA Agriculture Satellite Data + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating EOSDA Agriculture Satellite Data MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
