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 OpenAI Agents SDK?
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 6 tools from INPE (STAC API - Satélites) through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries INPE (STAC API - Satélites), another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

Why teams choose Vinkius for INPE (STAC API - Satélites) in OpenAI Agents SDK
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 OpenAI Agents SDK 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 OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK 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 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.
