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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
