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

Q: How does Cline execute spatial queries against INPE (STAC API - Satélites)?

Cline uses the searchitems tool by passing your bounding box coordinates directly to the API. It then parses the returned assets to extract the exact image URLs for your project.

Q: Can Cline write unit tests for code using INPE (STAC API - Satélites)?

Yes, the agent calls getrootcatalog to understand the API structure, then writes mock tests based on that schema. It runs the test suite in your VS Code terminal to verify everything passes.

Q: How do I get the temporal range of the S2-16D-2 collection?

Ask Cline to fetch the collection details. It will run getcollection and output the start and end dates of the satellite's coverage.

Let Cline build complete geospatial apps by giving it direct access to INPE's satellite catalog.

Build live satellite dashboards with Cline

This MCP Server exposes `list_collections` so Cline can discover what sensors are active before writing frontend code. The agent gathers live metadata and writes a React dashboard to display the active satellites. It will use `get_collection` to fetch the correct coordinate boundaries for the map component. You get a working dashboard populated with real-time orbital metadata without writing a single line of boilerplate.

Automate MCP Server spatial searches in Cline

This MCP Server lets Cline run `search_items` to find CBERS-4 imagery over your specified latitude and longitude. Stop wasting time looking up coordinate formats for Brazilian satellites manually. The agent writes the GeoJSON parsing scripts, runs them in your terminal, and verifies the output matches the STAC spec. It handles the entire data-prep phase while you focus on analysis.

Verify STAC API compliance via Cline

This MCP Server exposes `get_conformance` to let Cline check the target API's capabilities before writing integration code. It calls the endpoint to see which STAC extensions are supported by the Brazilian Space Research Institute. Based on those results, the agent configures your local query client to use the correct search parameters. This prevents runtime errors caused by unsupported filter queries in your production code.
