How to Use the NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream real-time solar flare and geomagnetic storm telemetry directly into your React frontend with the Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream Space Weather via MCP Server
Calling `get_solar_flares` pulls down exact classifications for C, M, and X-class solar events straight from NASA. You don't want users staring at a loading spinner while waiting to find out if an X-class flare is going to wipe out their radio communications. The Vercel AI SDK streams this classification data instantly into your UI. Your agent grabs the begin, peak, and end times alongside the detecting instruments. Because the MCP protocol handles the connection, the text generation functions push raw telemetry into your Next.js components live. Users see the active region data appear as soon as the API returns the first byte.
Map Interplanetary Shocks
The `get_interplanetary_shocks` tool tracks the CME-driven disturbances that usually hit before a major geomagnetic storm. Building a dashboard for satellite operators requires immediate visibility into these shockwaves. You can wire this endpoint to a map component that updates autonomously. Combine that with `get_geomagnetic_storms` to show the Kp index. When a storm pushes past Kp=7, your frontend can flash a severe warning without waiting for a full page reload. Developers get a direct pipeline to NASA's shock data, turning raw numbers into visual alerts.
Surface Live Notifications
Executing `get_donki_notifications` gives your application a unified feed of every recent space weather event. Instead of polling five different endpoints, you get one clean stream of CMEs, flares, and radiation spikes. That makes populating a notification tray incredibly simple. If a user needs context on a specific alert, the language model can trigger `get_cme` to pull the exact trajectory of the coronal mass ejection. Edge functions handle the parsing, keeping your client bundle small while still delivering heavy orbital telemetry.
