What is the NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence MCP Server?
DONKI (Database Of Notifications, Knowledge, Information) is NASA's comprehensive space weather database.
7 Event Types
- ☀️ CME — Coronal Mass Ejections
- 🔥 Solar Flares — C, M, X class
- 🧲 Geomagnetic Storms — Kp ≥ 4
- 💥 Interplanetary Shocks
- ⚡ Solar Energetic Particles
- 🛡️ Radiation Belt Events
- 📡 All Notifications (unified feed)
Built-in capabilities (7)
CMEs are massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields from the Sun. Earth-directed CMEs cause geomagnetic storms and aurora. Default: last 30 days. Get Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) events from NASA DONKI
A unified feed of all space weather events: CMEs, flares, storms, shocks, and radiation events. Good for a quick overview of recent solar activity. Get all recent DONKI space weather notifications
Includes Kp index and linked CME/shock data. Storms above Kp=7 are severe, Kp=9 is extreme. Affects power grids, GPS, satellites, and enables aurora at low latitudes. Get geomagnetic storm events from NASA DONKI
Shocks often precede geomagnetic storms and are caused by CME-driven disturbances in the solar wind. Get interplanetary shock wave events from NASA DONKI
The Van Allen radiation belts can be energized during geomagnetic storms, posing risks to satellites in medium Earth orbit. Get radiation belt enhancement events from NASA DONKI
SEPs are dangerous to astronauts and can damage satellite electronics. Get Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events from NASA DONKI
Classes: C (common), M (moderate), X (extreme). X-class flares cause radio blackouts and satellite disruption. Includes begin/peak/end times, active region, and instruments that detected it. Get solar flare events by class (C, M, X) from NASA DONKI
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from NASA DONKI — Space Weather Intelligence and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 7 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between DONKI and SWPC?
DONKI is NASA's historical database of space weather events with detailed analysis. SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center, under NOAA) focuses on real-time monitoring and forecasting. They complement each other.
What happens during a Geomagnetic Storm?
Geomagnetic storms, triggered by solar activity, can cause auroras, disrupt satellite communications, affect GPS accuracy, and in extreme cases, induce currents that trip electrical grids.
How long does it take for a CME to reach Earth?
Coronal Mass Ejections typically take 1 to 5 days to reach Earth, depending on their speed, which can range from 250 km/s to over 3,000 km/s.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
