What is the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Server?
Connect to the INPE Brazil Data Cube and explore high-resolution satellite imagery catalogs through natural language. This server implements the STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) specification to provide seamless access to Earth observation data from missions like CBERS, Sentinel, and Landsat.
What you can do
- Catalog Discovery — Explore the root catalog and check conformance classes of the INPE STAC server using
get_root_catalogandget_conformance. - Collection Browsing — List all available data collections (e.g., CBERS4, Sentinel-2) and fetch detailed metadata for specific ones with
list_collectionsandget_collection. - Item Listing — Retrieve specific scenes and assets within a collection using spatial (bounding box) and temporal filters via
list_collection_items. - Advanced Search — Perform cross-collection searches to find the exact satellite imagery needed for environmental monitoring or research using
search_items.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Brazil Data Cube (BDC) Access Key
- Start querying satellite metadata from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — Quickly find satellite scenes for specific dates and regions without manual API calls or complex scripts.
- Environmental Analysts — Monitor land use, deforestation, or agricultural changes using INPE's curated data cubes directly from your AI assistant.
- GIS Developers — Integrate satellite metadata discovery and asset retrieval directly into your development workflow.

Why teams choose Vinkius for INPE (STAC API - Satélites) in Google ADK
The INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
INPE (STAC API - Satélites) for Google ADK
Every tool call from Google ADK to the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I see what types of satellite data are available?
Use the list_collections tool. It will return a list of all available datasets in the INPE Brazil Data Cube, such as CBERS-4, Sentinel-2, and various synthesized data cubes.
Can I search for specific images using geographic coordinates?
Yes! Use the search_items tool and provide a bbox (bounding box) string in the format '[minx, miny, maxx, maxy]'. This allows you to find all satellite scenes covering your area of interest.
How do I get the technical metadata for a specific collection?
Use the get_collection tool with the specific collection_id (e.g., 'CBERS4-WFI-16D-2'). It will provide detailed information about the spatial extent, temporal interval, and available assets for that collection.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
