How to Use the NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP in Cursor
Write code using real exoplanet physics and Kepler data directly within Cursor using live MCP tools.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Inject real planetary physics into Cursor
The `query_confirmed_planets` tool pulls actual astronomical measurements like mass and radius directly into your active file. When you use this MCP Server inside Cursor, your editor's agent mode can write code using live physics. Your agent reads these live numbers to write precise calculations for orbital mechanics. You get working code grounded in real-world observations from NASA's archives.
Filter transit data inside Cursor Agent Mode
The `get_transit_planets` tool fetches raw planetary metrics for worlds discovered via the transit method. Let your editor write data parsers for Kepler and TESS targets using this live feed. The editor then uses these actual datasets to build out your local visualization scripts. You don't have to download massive CSVs manually anymore.
Map habitable worlds with real-time queries
The `get_habitable_zone` tool feeds liquid-water candidates directly to your active coding workspace. Cursor can parse this list to write testing suites or seed databases with real habitable-zone candidates. You can also pull global metrics with `get_planet_stats` to verify your data models. This ensures your code handles the actual distribution of discovery methods.
Set up NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System 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 Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP
Cursor will create or open
.cursor/mcp.jsonin 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 Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
