Automate discovery tracking in Claude Code

The `get_planet_stats` tool exposes global exoplanet discovery totals and yearly trends directly to your terminal. Your headless agent can run this on a cron schedule to check for new confirmed planets. You can pipe this output into a shell script or a Slack webhook. Claude Code grabs the latest numbers from the MCP Server and fires off a summary report without any human intervention.

Search facilities from the command line

The `query_confirmed_planets` tool allows your CLI agent to filter the 5,700+ confirmed planets by name, year, or facility. You can write a single prompt to fetch all 2023 Keck Observatory discoveries. The tool returns raw data like orbital periods and equilibrium temperatures. Claude Code can then format this into a CSV, write it to disk, or inject it into a Docker container build process.

Extract transit and habitable datasets

The `get_transit_planets` tool pulls the massive Kepler and TESS catalogs, while `get_habitable_zone` isolates the worlds capable of holding liquid water. Your terminal agent handles both datasets natively. You can instruct Claude Code to cross-reference these lists to find transiting planets in the habitable zone. It executes the logic entirely in the background, outputting the final filtered list to standard out.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Open your terminal and run the command shown on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com. Use --scope user to make it available across all projects.
2

Verify the connection

Start a Claude Code session and type /mcp to list connected servers. You should see nasa-exoplanets-worlds-beyond-our-solar-system-mcp with a green status indicator.
3

Start using tools

Ask Claude Code something like "Check my latest NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System transactions." It will automatically discover and invoke the available NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System tools.

Common questions about NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http nasa-exoplanets -- `. Make sure all flags come before the server name. Verify the connection with `claude mcp list`.

Yes. Since the client is completely headless, you can configure it to query `get_planet_stats` during a build step and generate static pages based on the latest discovery totals.

The agent receives raw JSON from the server. You can tell it to convert that orbital and mass data into markdown tables, CSV files, or YAML configs right in your terminal.

It returns any confirmed planet sitting in the habitable zone, regardless of composition. You can use the query tool to filter further by planetary radius or mass.

The MCP Server strictly handles astronomical data like transit methods and facility names. Vinkius manages the authentication externally, so your local machine never exposes its SSH keys or environment variables to the endpoint.
