About Sentinel Hub MCP Server
Connect to Sentinel Hub — the most powerful satellite imagery processing API in Europe — and transform raw Earth observation data into actionable intelligence.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Sentinel Hub tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 14 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- STAC Catalog Search — Discover available satellite scenes by location, date, collection, cloud cover, and MGRS tile ID across all Sentinel missions and Landsat
- Image Processing — Render custom satellite imagery using evalscripts (JavaScript-based processing scripts) that define how bands are combined, indices are calculated, and pixels are colored
- Vegetation Analysis (NDVI) — Generate ready-to-use NDVI evalscripts that color-code vegetation density from bare soil to dense forest
- Statistical Analysis — Calculate mean, min, max, standard deviation, and histograms over areas of interest with temporal aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Cloud-Free Search — Find satellite scenes below a specified cloud cover threshold for clean optical analysis
- Band Combinations — Access a curated library of 10 predefined band combinations including True Color, False Color, NDWI, Moisture Index, SWIR, and Burn Severity
The Sentinel Hub MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
All 14 Sentinel Hub tools available for Cline
When Cline connects to Sentinel Hub through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning satellite-imagery, earth-observation, geospatial-data, and more. Every call is secured with network, filesystem, subprocess, and code evaluation entitlements inside a sandboxed runtime. Beyond a simple connection, you get a full AI Gateway with real-time visibility into agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.
Specify a collection ID (e.g., "sentinel-2-l2a", "sentinel-1-grd"), a bounding box as [west, south, east, north] coordinates, and a date range. Returns item metadata including geometry, cloud cover, and band information. Search the Sentinel Hub STAC catalog for satellite imagery
Returns the connection status and service URL. Use this to verify your client_id:client_secret credentials are working correctly. Verify Sentinel Hub API connectivity and authentication
In the output, healthy vegetation appears bright red, urban areas appear cyan/grey, and water appears dark blue. This is the standard false-color composite used in remote sensing for vegetation mapping and land cover classification. Generate a false-color evalscript for vegetation emphasis
The output is color-coded: dark for water/shadow, grey for bare soil, yellow-green for sparse vegetation, and deep green for dense vegetation. Use the returned evalscript with the process_image tool. Generate a ready-to-use NDVI evalscript for vegetation analysis
Use the returned evalscript with the process_image tool to get visually appealing satellite photos of any location on Earth. Generate a true-color RGB evalscript for natural imagery
Get detailed information about a specific data collection
Use the item ID returned from a catalog_search query. Get detailed metadata for a specific STAC catalog item
Requires an evalscript that defines which bands to analyze. Supports temporal aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly) for time-series analysis of vegetation indices, water levels, or urban expansion. Calculate statistics over an area from satellite imagery
Useful for verifying credentials and understanding available quotas. Get authenticated Sentinel Hub user profile information
Includes True Color, False Color (vegetation), NDVI, NDWI, Moisture Index, SWIR, SAR polarizations, Scene Classification, and Burn Severity (NBR). Each entry specifies the required bands and target collection. List predefined satellite band combinations and indices
Includes Sentinel-1 GRD (radar), Sentinel-2 L1C/L2A (optical), Sentinel-3 OLCI/SLSTR, Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), Landsat 8-9, DEM, and Copernicus Land Monitoring Service data. List all available Sentinel Hub satellite data collections
Specify the data collection, area of interest as a bounding box, date range, and the evalscript. The evalscript defines band inputs, processing logic, and output format. Use generate_ndvi_evalscript or generate_true_color_evalscript tools to get ready-made evalscripts. Process satellite imagery with a custom evalscript
MGRS tiles are the standard spatial reference for Sentinel-2 data (e.g., "33UUP" for central Europe, "29SQB" for Lisbon area). Returns all scenes for the specified tile within the date range. Search Sentinel-2 imagery by MGRS tile identifier
Essential for optical analysis where cloud contamination would corrupt results. Typical thresholds: <10% for clean analysis, <30% for general use, <50% for temporal coverage. Search for cloud-free satellite imagery below a threshold

Why Use Cline with the Sentinel Hub MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with Sentinel Hub through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
Sentinel Hub + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the Sentinel Hub MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from Sentinel Hub and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use Sentinel Hub tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from Sentinel Hub and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query Sentinel Hub for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
Example Prompts for Sentinel Hub in Cline
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cline agent to start working with Sentinel Hub immediately.
