NASA DONKI MCP. Track solar activity across multiple physics domains.

NASA DONKI: Space Weather Intelligence.

This MCP Server gives your AI client deep-dive data on solar and space physics events. It’s built around seven specialized tools that track everything from massive coronal mass ejections to subtle radiation enhancements. You're looking at the full spectrum of threats, so you don't gotta juggle a bunch of different feeds.

Monitoring Large Solar Eruptions:

The get_solar_flares tool lets you query detailed records of solar flares by class: C, M, and X. Remember, an X-class flare is the big one; it's the most severe kind and can cause radio blackouts that mess up comms across huge areas. The data gives you peak times and active region identifiers so you know exactly what to look out for when planning ground operations.

You also get a read on get_cme, which retrieves Coronal Mass Ejection events. These aren't just little puffs; they're massive solar wind bursts that can trigger serious geomagnetic storms, and the tool defaults to showing you everything from the last 30 days so you’ve got historical context.

Tracking Storm Dynamics and Warnings:

The get_interplanetary_shocks function pulls records of shock waves moving through the solar wind. These shocks are often what signal a major event is coming, giving you advance notice that something big's brewing out there. When you run get_geomagnetic_storms, you get data that includes the critical Kp index. This metric tells you how bad the geomagnetic disturbance is—it’s essential for understanding potential impacts on everything from GPS signals to local power grids.

For a quick status check, use get_donki_notifications; this single feed pulls together alerts on flares, shocks, storms, and CMEs, giving your agent an immediate overview of recent solar activity.

Assessing Particle Hazards:

Space isn't just about magnetic fields; it’s also about dangerous particles. get_solar_energetic_particles provides details on SEPs. These are high-energy particles that can seriously damage sensitive electronics and pose real risks to people in crewed missions. You also need to keep an eye on the Van Allen radiation belts using get_radiation_belt.

This tool checks for enhancements to these belts, which is absolutely vital when you're planning a satellite pass through Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) because it tells you exactly where you might run into dangerous levels of radiation. These seven tools cover every angle so you can plan your mission knowing what the space environment’s gonna throw at you.
