How to Use the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP in LlamaIndex
Index high-res Maxar satellite data into your LlamaIndex knowledge base for semantic retrieval and context.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP to LlamaIndex
Create your Vinkius account to connect Maxar (Satellite Imagery) to LlamaIndex and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Index Maxar imagery metadata for retrieval
Convert `search_discovery` results into searchable nodes within your LlamaIndex vector store. This lets you query your historical satellite data logs using natural language. Stop digging through CSVs or logs. The agent indexes the catalog metadata, so you can ask about past imagery coverage without writing a single query.
Ground responses in live ARD tile data
Use `get_ard_tile` to fetch data that LlamaIndex then indexes as part of your RAG context. Your agent answers questions based on the actual tile specs, not guesses. It keeps your data current. When you query your index, you're looking at the latest metadata returned by the server.
Query MWS endpoints using semantic search
Store your `get_mws_endpoints` configurations in your knowledge base. When your system needs a stream, it searches the index to find the right endpoint for the task. This removes the need for hardcoded URLs. Your agent retrieves the correct service location dynamically based on the requested region or sensor.
