What is the Maxar (Satellite Imagery) MCP Server?
Connect to Maxar, the world leader in high-resolution satellite imagery, and integrate earth intelligence directly into your AI workflows. This server allows you to query the Maxar Discovery Service, manage orders, and access OGC-compliant streaming services.
What you can do
- Imagery Discovery — Search for available satellite imagery using spatial bounding boxes, temporal filters, and specific satellite collections (like WorldView-3).
- Product Ordering — Request delivery of specific imagery products (visual, multispectral, or panchromatic) directly to your cloud storage.
- ARD Metadata — Retrieve detailed metadata for Analysis Ready Data (ARD) tiles to streamline your geospatial analysis.
- Streaming Access — Get base URLs for OGC-compliant streaming services (WMS, WMTS) to visualize imagery in GIS applications or custom dashboards.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Maxar Client ID and Client Secret
- Start querying the planet from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Geospatial Analysts — Quickly find and inspect imagery for specific regions without leaving your analysis environment.
- Data Scientists — Automate the discovery and ordering of training data for machine learning models.
- GIS Developers — Retrieve streaming endpoints and tile metadata to power custom mapping applications.

Frequently asked questions
How do I search for satellite imagery in a specific geographic area?
You can use the search_discovery tool by providing a bounding box (bbox) array with [min_lon, min_lat, max_lon, max_lat] coordinates and an optional datetime interval.
Can I get streaming links for use in GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS?
Yes! Use the get_mws_endpoints tool to retrieve the base URLs for OGC-compliant WMS and WMTS services provided by Maxar Web Services.
What information is required to order a specific image?
To use the create_order tool, you need the unique item_id of the image, the desired product_type (e.g., visual), and a delivery_config JSON specifying the destination.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
