Perplexity

Team-wide hazard monitoring

`get_natural_events` delivers live coordinates for wildfires, dust storms, and volcanic activity straight to your editor. A developer asks Copilot for current hazards, and it fetches real data complete with source URLs. To narrow things down, `get_event_categories` lists the exact classifications the API supports. This MCP Server filters the noise so you only see the disasters relevant to your current project.

Macro-level planetary context

`get_epic_images` pulls the latest full-disk Earth metadata from the DSCOVR satellite. Copilot uses the returned image identifiers to construct working URLs in your markdown or HTML files. These shots come from 1.5 million kilometers away. This MCP Server provides both natural and enhanced color options depending on what your dashboard requires.

Historical timeline extraction via MCP Server

The `get_epic_dates` tool serves as a directory for every day the camera recorded a usable frame. Your agent checks this endpoint to ensure a date exists before writing code that depends on it. After verifying the timeline, `get_epic_by_date` extracts the coordinates and sun position for that specific timestamp. You get perfect historical context injected directly into your workspace.

Setup guide

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