What is the Arcsecond.io MCP Server?
The Arcsecond.io MCP Server provides a unified natural language interface to the world's astronomical data. Connect your Arcsecond account to your AI agent to search for celestial objects, manage observatory data, and track observation night logs seamlessly.
Key Features
- Celestial Object Search — Search for stars, galaxies, planets, and more to retrieve official names, types, and precise coordinates (RA/Dec).
- Object Metadata — Access detailed astrophysical data, including visual magnitude and classifications for millions of objects.
- Observatory Management — List observing sites, telescopes, and instruments associated with your observatory subdomain.
- Data Tracking — Access datasets and night logs to monitor ongoing observations and historical data collections.
- Night Log Oversight — Retrieve detailed logs of observations and calibrations organized by local noon-to-noon cycles.
- Global Data Access — Interface with a vast network of astronomical databases through a single, consistent API.
Who is this for?
- Professional Astronomers — Quickly retrieve object coordinates and check observatory status without manual database queries.
- Amateur Stargazers — Search for interesting celestial targets and get detailed metadata for planning observation sessions.
- Data Scientists — Integrate astronomical data retrieval into automated research and analysis workflows.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Arcsecond.io API Key?
Log in to your Arcsecond.io account and go to your Profile page. You will find your Personal API Key there.
What is an observatory subdomain?
If you are part of a specific observatory or organization on Arcsecond.io, your data is hosted on a subdomain (e.g., myobs.arcsecond.io). You can use this subdomain to access site-specific data.
Can I search for any astronomical object?
Yes, the search_objects tool allows you to search across millions of objects in the SIMBAD, Gaia, and other astronomical databases integrated into Arcsecond.io.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
