Connect Esa Near Earth Objects to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Direct access to official European Space Agency asteroid monitoring data.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put ESA NEOCC to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ESA NEOCC works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ESA NEOCC to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 12 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of ESA NEOCC, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ESA NEOCC. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions ESA NEOCC owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key to use this MCP?

    No. The ESA NEOCC is a public service, so no API key is required to access the data.

  • 02

    How often is the asteroid data updated?

    The data is sourced from the ESA Space Safety programme and is updated multiple times every day.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can I use with this?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    What are the Palermo and Torino Scales?

    These are official scales used to rate the risk of asteroid impacts. The MCP provides these values directly from the ESA risk lists.

  • 05

    Can I get the physical size of an asteroid?

    Yes. You can use the capability to retrieve estimated diameters and other physical properties from the ESA database.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key to use this server?

    No. The ESA NEOCC API is completely public and requires no authentication. Simply subscribe to this server and enter any placeholder value in the API key field to start querying asteroid data immediately.

  • 07

    Can I query data for a specific asteroid like Apophis?

    Yes! Use the object-specific capabilities with the asteroid's designation. For example, query orbital elements for '99942' (Apophis), or get close approaches for '2024YR4'. The designation should match the official IAU format used in the NEOCC database.
