What is the Arcsecond.io MCP Server?
The Arcsecond.io MCP Server provides a unified natural language interface to the world's astronomical data. Connect your Arcsecond account to your AI agent to search for celestial objects, manage observatory data, and track observation night logs seamlessly.
Key Features
- Celestial Object Search — Search for stars, galaxies, planets, and more to retrieve official names, types, and precise coordinates (RA/Dec).
- Object Metadata — Access detailed astrophysical data, including visual magnitude and classifications for millions of objects.
- Observatory Management — List observing sites, telescopes, and instruments associated with your observatory subdomain.
- Data Tracking — Access datasets and night logs to monitor ongoing observations and historical data collections.
- Night Log Oversight — Retrieve detailed logs of observations and calibrations organized by local noon-to-noon cycles.
- Global Data Access — Interface with a vast network of astronomical databases through a single, consistent API.
Who is this for?
- Professional Astronomers — Quickly retrieve object coordinates and check observatory status without manual database queries.
- Amateur Stargazers — Search for interesting celestial targets and get detailed metadata for planning observation sessions.
- Data Scientists — Integrate astronomical data retrieval into automated research and analysis workflows.

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Arcsecond.io tools. Connect 7 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Arcsecond.io API Key?
Log in to your Arcsecond.io account and go to your Profile page. You will find your Personal API Key there.
What is an observatory subdomain?
If you are part of a specific observatory or organization on Arcsecond.io, your data is hosted on a subdomain (e.g., myobs.arcsecond.io). You can use this subdomain to access site-specific data.
Can I search for any astronomical object?
Yes, the search_objects tool allows you to search across millions of objects in the SIMBAD, Gaia, and other astronomical databases integrated into Arcsecond.io.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Arcsecond.io tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
