How to Use the NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events to Claude Code?

Run the command claude mcp add --transport http nasa-earth in your terminal. Claude Code will configure the connection in your configuration file and make the tools immediately available.

Q: How do I verify the NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events server is connected to Claude Code?

Simply run claude mcp list in your terminal to see all active servers. You should see the NASA Earth tools listed and ready for execution.

Q: What format does the satellite image data come in?

The getepicimages tool returns structured metadata containing URLs to the high-resolution PNG or JPG assets hosted by NASA. Claude Code can extract these URLs so you can download them using curl or wget.

Pipe real-time disaster data and NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events satellite imagery straight to Claude Code.

Perplexity

Command-line disaster monitoring

The `get_natural_events` tool pulls active global disaster logs directly into your terminal session via Claude Code. Stop clicking through web portals to check on active wildfires or storms when you can pipe coordinates and source links straight into your shell. You can pipe this EONET data directly into other CLI utilities or shell scripts. The Claude Code client queries `get_event_categories` to filter the stream, letting you build custom bash alerts for specific event types.

Scripted satellite imagery extraction via MCP Server

Using `get_epic_images`, Claude Code fetches full-disk Earth images directly through your command line. Claude Code connects to this MCP Server to fetch full-disk Earth images, giving you instant access to natural and color-calibrated DSCOVR satellite feeds. Because it runs headlessly, you can command the terminal agent to download the latest planetary frames and commit them to a git repository. It eliminates the need for manual browser downloads or custom curl scripting.

Historical planetary data querying

The `get_epic_dates` tool lets you query historical DSCOVR satellite passes directly from your shell using Claude Code. Querying historical satellite passes is dirt simple with terminal commands. Once you select a date, Claude Code calls `get_epic_by_date` to pull the exact sun positions and image identifiers. You can immediately redirect this metadata into a local JSON file for further command-line processing.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)

Common questions about NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events MCP in Claude Code

Run the command `claude mcp add --transport http nasa-earth ` in your terminal. Claude Code will configure the connection in your configuration file and make the tools immediately available.

Yes, this is a major strength of the CLI setup. You can write scripts that run Claude Code in a GitHub Action to fetch active wildfire data via `get_natural_events` and trigger automated server alerts.

Simply run `claude mcp list` in your terminal to see all active servers. You should see the NASA Earth tools listed and ready for execution.

The `get_epic_images` tool returns structured metadata containing URLs to the high-resolution PNG or JPG assets hosted by NASA. Claude Code can extract these URLs so you can download them using curl or wget.

No, the CLI client only transmits the specific query parameters (like dates or event categories) required by the tools. Your local terminal environment and system paths remain entirely private and isolated within your shell during these tool calls.
