How to Use the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I pipe the output of INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Server queries to other CLI tools in Claude Code?

Yes, you can ask Claude Code to run searchitems and format the output as raw JSON. From there, you can pipe it to jq or redirect it to a local file.

Q: How do I view the metadata schema of a specific CBERS collection?

Ask the agent to inspect the collection. It will execute getcollection and display the asset definitions, bands, and coordinate reference systems.

Search satellite catalogs using Claude Code

This MCP Server exposes `search_items` so Claude Code can query South American earth observation data without leaving your shell. Piping raw STAC JSON directly into tools like jq becomes trivial when running commands. You can ask your agent to find the latest Amazonia-1 scenes and immediately format the output as a clean CSV. No web browser or heavy GIS software is required to scan the catalog.

Script automated catalog audits in your shell

This MCP Server exposes `list_collection_items` to let your agent check for new scenes ingested by the Brazilian Space Research Institute. Keep your local databases in sync with the latest orbital passes automatically. By comparing the remote timestamps with your local index, Claude Code can trigger download scripts only when new data is available. This keeps your local cache updated with minimal bandwidth usage.

Inspect STAC schemas via Claude Code

This MCP Server exposes `get_root_catalog` so your agent has direct access to map out available endpoints and child links. Debugging API connections from the CLI is fast when you bypass intermediate visual layers. If a query fails, the agent uses `get_conformance` to verify if the server supports the specific filter extension you are trying to use. You get an immediate diagnosis right in your terminal.

Common questions about INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP in Claude Code

Yes, you can ask Claude Code to run `search_items` and format the output as raw JSON. From there, you can pipe it to jq or redirect it to a local file.

Simply tell the agent to list the collections. It will call `list_collections` and print a clean list of available sensors like CBERS-4 and S2.

No, Claude Code queries the live endpoints via this server to ensure you always get the latest orbital paths. This prevents stale metadata from breaking your automated scripts.

Ask the agent to inspect the collection. It will execute `get_collection` and display the asset definitions, bands, and coordinate reference systems.

Your bounding boxes and collection IDs are processed inside ephemeral, zero-trust sandboxes. The connection to the Brazilian space agency's API is fully encrypted, and no query logs are kept on our servers.
