What is the difference between DONKI and SWPC?

DONKI is NASA's historical database of space weather events with detailed analysis. SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center, under NOAA) focuses on real-time monitoring and forecasting. They complement each other.

What happens during a Geomagnetic Storm?

Geomagnetic storms, triggered by solar activity, can cause auroras, disrupt satellite communications, affect GPS accuracy, and in extreme cases, induce currents that trip electrical grids.

How long does it take for a CME to reach Earth?

Coronal Mass Ejections typically take 1 to 5 days to reach Earth, depending on their speed, which can range from 250 km/s to over 3,000 km/s.

NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP Tools for Cline (7)

These 7 tools become available when you connect NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence to Cline via MCP:

get_cme

CMEs are massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields from the Sun. Earth-directed CMEs cause geomagnetic storms and aurora. Default: last 30 days. Get Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) events from NASA DONKI

get_donki_notifications

A unified feed of all space weather events: CMEs, flares, storms, shocks, and radiation events. Good for a quick overview of recent solar activity. Get all recent DONKI space weather notifications

get_geomagnetic_storms

Includes Kp index and linked CME/shock data. Storms above Kp=7 are severe, Kp=9 is extreme. Affects power grids, GPS, satellites, and enables aurora at low latitudes. Get geomagnetic storm events from NASA DONKI

get_interplanetary_shocks

Shocks often precede geomagnetic storms and are caused by CME-driven disturbances in the solar wind. Get interplanetary shock wave events from NASA DONKI

get_radiation_belt

The Van Allen radiation belts can be energized during geomagnetic storms, posing risks to satellites in medium Earth orbit. Get radiation belt enhancement events from NASA DONKI

get_solar_energetic_particles

SEPs are dangerous to astronauts and can damage satellite electronics. Get Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events from NASA DONKI

get_solar_flares

Classes: C (common), M (moderate), X (extreme). X-class flares cause radio blackouts and satellite disruption. Includes begin/peak/end times, active region, and instruments that detected it. Get solar flare events by class (C, M, X) from NASA DONKI
