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

Q: How can I search for imagery in Cursor using INPE (STAC API - Satélites)?

Use Agent mode to invoke the searchitems tool. Provide your bounding box and time parameters, and Cursor will pipe the JSON response directly into your active file.

Q: Can Cursor retrieve collection details from INPE (STAC API - Satélites)?

It does. You can call getcollection to pull metadata for any specific ID, allowing you to build your data models based on real-time API responses.

Q: Does INPE (STAC API - Satélites) work with Cursor's Agent mode?

Yes, it's designed for it. The agent can chain listcollections and searchitems to automatically find the imagery you need for your project.

Fetch collections within Cursor

Use `list_collections` to see what data is available while you write your code. This tool lets you pull the latest catalog names directly into your editor context. Need more details on a specific sensor? Call `get_collection` to get the schema for a collection. It helps you write code that actually matches the data structure of the INPE backend.

Query imagery with Agent mode

Enable Agent mode and let the AI run `search_items` to find specific satellite captures. You get the real JSON response injected into your files, so you stop guessing about API return formats. Use `list_collection_items` to paginate through results. It keeps your code logic clean while dealing with the large volumes of items returned by the API.

Check catalog conformance

Run `get_conformance` to verify the STAC implementation details. It prevents runtime errors by ensuring your code handles the exact extensions supported by the INPE server. `get_root_catalog` serves as your reliable entry point. You can use it to initialize your data discovery logic whenever you start a new analysis task.

Setup guide

Set up INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent INPE (STAC API - Satélites) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
