Perplexity

Track asteroid close approaches directly in your chat

`get_neo_feed` pulls real-time tracking data on asteroids passing near Earth, complete with velocity, size estimates, and miss distances. You get raw data from the JPL CNEOS database directly in your chat. Your agent parses these metrics to flag rocks that actually pose a threat. `get_close_approaches` lets you filter these objects by distance threshold and size. You don't have to parse raw API feeds yourself. Claude Desktop displays the precise path and velocity of incoming space debris instantly using this MCP Server.

Monitor solar flares inside Claude Desktop

`get_solar_flares` fetches active radiation and solar weather alerts directly from the NASA DONKI system. You see the exact classification of flares from common C-class to dangerous X-class events. Your agent correlates these bursts with potential communication outages. `get_cme` maps coronal mass ejections and tracks their trajectory toward Earth. This MCP Server feeds raw solar wind speed and magnetic field data into Claude Desktop. You check live space weather without looking at old browser tabs.

Query Mars photos and exoplanet data

`get_mars_photos` pulls raw images from Curiosity, Opportunity, or Spirit by sol or camera type. You get immediate access to over 800,000 photos from Mars. The local stdio connection in Claude Desktop loads these image URLs instantly. `query_confirmed_planets` searches the NASA Exoplanet Archive for orbital period, mass, and equilibrium temp. You filter candidates by discovery method like transit or radial velocity. This tool brings thousands of confirmed outer-world metrics straight to your workspace.
