Frequently asked questions
Is Curiosity still active on Mars?
Yes! Curiosity has been active since August 6, 2012 and continues to send new photos and science data. Opportunity operated for 15 years (2004-2018), Spirit for 6 years (2004-2010).
Can I search photos by Earth date instead of Martian sol?
Yes, the server supports querying by both Earth date (e.g., '2023-11-20') and Martian Sol (the number of Martian days since the rover landed) for flexibility.
Which cameras are available on the rovers?
Available cameras include FHAZ (Front Hazard), RHAZ (Rear Hazard), NAVCAM (Navigation), MAST (Mast Camera), CHEMCAM (Chemistry and Camera), and MAHLI (Mars Hand Lens Imager).
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.
Command not found: claude
