Check esa neocc status on ESA Near Earth Objects
Returns the connection status and service URL. Use this to verify the integration is working correctly. Verify ESA NEOCC API connectivity
Get all nea list on ESA Near Earth Objects
Returns designations only. Warning: this list contains thousands of entries. Use for comprehensive audits or when searching for a specific designation. Get the complete catalog of all known near-Earth asteroids
Get impact table on ESA Near Earth Objects
Lists virtual impactors with their projected impact dates, impact probabilities, and Palermo Scale values. This is the primary ESA output for planetary defence risk assessment. Get impact monitoring data for potentially hazardous objects
Get object close approaches on ESA Near Earth Objects
g., "2024YR4", "99942 Apophis"). Returns miss distance, date, velocity, and brightness for each encounter. Use URL-encoded designations for objects with spaces. Get all close approaches for a specific asteroid
Get object ephemerides on ESA Near Earth Objects
Returns right ascension, declination, distance, and visual magnitude at each timestep. Useful for planning telescope observations or determining current sky position. Get ephemerides for a specific asteroid
Get object orbital elements on ESA Near Earth Objects
Essential for trajectory computation and impact probability assessment. Get orbital elements for a specific asteroid
Get object physical properties on ESA Near Earth Objects
Data sourced from the ESA NEOCC physical properties database. Get physical properties of a specific asteroid

ESA Near Earth Objects + Claude Desktop FAQ
Common questions about integrating ESA Near Earth Objects MCP Server with Claude Desktop.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
