What you can do
- Project Discovery — List and fetch detailed metadata, descriptions, and status updates for specific NASA technology projects using
list_projectsandget_project. - Funding & Opportunities — Search for open funding opportunities, check maximum funding amounts, and export data for analysis using
search_opportunitiesandexport_opportunities. - Organizational Insights — Identify participating organizations, their types, and roles in various programs via
list_organizationsandsearch_organizations. - Taxonomy Navigation — Explore the NASA technology roadmap through structured taxonomy trees and nodes using
get_taxonomy_tree. - Program Analysis — Retrieve detailed information about NASA programs and their associated technology portfolios with
list_programs.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NASA API Key (obtained from api.nasa.gov)
- Start querying NASA's R&D database from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Scientists — quickly find existing NASA research to avoid duplication and find collaboration points.
- Aerospace Engineers — stay updated on the latest technological advancements in propulsion, materials, and life support.
- Policy Makers & Analysts — track NASA's technology investments and program distributions across different organizations.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find detailed information about a specific NASA project if I have its ID?
You can use the get_project tool by providing the specific projectId. The agent will return comprehensive metadata including the project's description, status, and lead organizations.
Is it possible to search for active funding opportunities for space technology?
Yes! Use the search_opportunities tool with your specific criteria. You can also use list_opportunities to see all current funding calls available in the TechPort system.
Can I see the entire NASA technology taxonomy structure?
Absolutely. Use the get_taxonomy_tree tool to retrieve the full hierarchical structure of NASA's technology areas, which helps in understanding how different projects are categorized.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
