Perplexity

Real-time disaster data injection

`get_natural_events` supplies active coordinates for floods, sea ice, and earthquakes directly to your Cursor agent. You start writing a script to map global hazards, and the AI populates your mockups with actual active event data. Before querying the main feed, your editor uses `get_event_categories` to figure out which disaster types exist. This keeps your code grounded in real API responses instead of hallucinated JSON objects.

Full-disk planet rendering

`get_epic_images` grabs the most recent full-disk Earth shots from 1.5 million kilometers out. The agent drops the exact image URLs into your frontend components while you code. You get access to both natural color and enhanced color feeds. This MCP Server lets you build dashboards that display macro-level planetary conditions without writing the fetch logic yourself.

Time-series validation via MCP Server

`get_epic_dates` returns an array of valid observation days from the NASA archive. Cursor reads this list to validate user input in your application before firing off bad requests. When you need a specific past event, `get_epic_by_date` retrieves the sun position and image identifiers for that exact day. This MCP Server builds the correct image URLs automatically based on that metadata.

Setup guide

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

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

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

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root or global settings. Paste the MCP Server command details and turn on Agent mode.

You keep your hands on the keyboard. The agent writes the boilerplate code to handle the API payload while you focus on the UI.

It reads the raw coordinates and source links perfectly. The AI can then write a Python script or React component to render that information on a map.

These are full-disk images taken from deep space. They show entire hemispheres, not street-level details.

The MCP integration only pulls down external EONET event data and EPIC image identifiers. Your proprietary source code never gets transmitted to the government endpoints.
