Track solar flares and CMEs inside Claude Desktop

`get_solar_flares` pulls raw data on solar flare classes directly into your chat, giving you immediate access to begin, peak, and end times. This tool lets your agent analyze whether an X-class flare is currently threatening orbital assets or radio bands. Combine that flare telemetry with `get_cme` to track coronal mass ejections moving toward Earth. You get the exact trajectory and speed data without digging through old NASA web portals.

Monitor geomagnetic storms and radiation belts

`get_geomagnetic_storms` monitors the Kp index to flag severe geomagnetic activity before it hits ground systems. This MCP tool feeds your agent the exact numbers needed to assess power grid or GPS vulnerabilities. Pair this with `get_radiation_belt` to watch the Van Allen belts. Your agent can cross-reference these events to map out safe operational windows for high-altitude hardware.

Stream live space weather notifications

`get_donki_notifications` acts as a live feed for all solar events, delivering system alerts straight to your desktop workspace. It keeps your agent updated on sudden shifts in the magnetosphere. If you need finer telemetry, `get_interplanetary_shocks` and `get_solar_energetic_particles` provide the raw physics of incoming solar winds. This MCP Server gets you ahead of radiation spikes before they degrade your hardware.
