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_catalog and get_conformance.
Collection Browsing — List all available data collections (e.g., CBERS4, Sentinel-2) and fetch detailed metadata for specific ones with list_collections and get_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 VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings INPE (STAC API - Satélites) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
