Standardized collection listing

Use `list_collections` to ensure every team member sees the same data sources. By committing your MCP config to the repo, you keep everyone aligned on the available INPE satellite sets. `get_collection` lets you share precise metadata definitions. It removes ambiguity when developers need to understand the constraints of a specific imagery collection.

Automated item searching

Use `search_items` to find satellite captures across the team's shared project. The AI uses this tool to provide consistent results based on the parameters defined in your repository. `list_collection_items` helps you audit what's in a collection. It's a quick way to verify that your search results match the actual items available on the server.

API conformance management

Call `get_conformance` to keep your team's code in sync with the API requirements. It ensures that any logic you build stays compatible with the INPE STAC standards. Use `get_root_catalog` as the base for your team's data discovery scripts. It provides the reliable starting point needed for consistent infrastructure across all developer environments.
