What is the NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence MCP Server?
Real-time space weather from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.
What you can do
- Kp Index — Current geomagnetic activity (aurora threshold)
- Kp Forecast — 3-day predictions
- Solar Wind — Speed (km/s) and Bz from DSCOVR satellite
- Aurora Forecast — Ovation probability model (global)
- Solar Flux — F10.7 solar activity proxy
- Dst Index — Ring current storm intensity
Who Needs This?
Aurora hunters, satellite operators, HF radio operators, power grid managers, airline operators (polar routes), and space enthusiasts.
Built-in capabilities (6)
Powered by real-time solar wind data. The gold standard for aurora forecasting worldwide. Get the aurora probability forecast map data (Ovation model)
Measures the intensity of the ring current around Earth. Values below -50 nT indicate a moderate storm, below -100 nT a strong storm, below -250 nT a severe storm. Critical for satellite operators and power grid monitoring. Get the Dst index — real-time geomagnetic storm intensity
Use this to plan for aurora viewing, satellite vulnerabilities, or HF radio propagation impacts. Get the 3-day Kp index forecast — predicted geomagnetic activity
Kp ranges 0-9. Values ≥5 indicate geomagnetic storms with visible aurora at lower latitudes. Updated every 3 hours. Essential for aurora hunters, satellite operators, and power grid managers. Get the NOAA Planetary K-index — geomagnetic activity and aurora probability
7 solar flux index. Higher values (>100 SFU) indicate increased solar activity, more sunspots, and higher probability of solar flares and CMEs. Normal quiet-sun values are 70-80 SFU. Get the 10.7cm solar radio flux — a proxy for solar activity level
The solar wind drives geomagnetic storms — when speed exceeds 500 km/s with southward Bz, aurora probability increases dramatically. Get real-time solar wind speed and magnetic field conditions
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence 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

Frequently asked questions
What Kp level is needed to see aurora?
Kp ≥ 5: visible from northern US/southern Canada. Kp ≥ 7: visible from mid-latitudes (40°N). Kp = 9: rare — aurora visible from southern US/Europe. Check the Ovation model for precise probability at your location.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
