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.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
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 INPE (STAC API) 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

INPE (STAC API) 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 INPE (STAC API) 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. 6 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 INPE (STAC API), so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with INPE (STAC API). Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work INPE (STAC API) owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals working with remote sensing and geospatial data in Brazil.

  • 01

    Data Scientists

    They ask the agent to find specific satellite scenes for training or analysis models.

  • 02

    Environmental Analysts

    They use the agent to monitor land use changes and deforestation patterns.

  • 03

    GIS Developers

    They use the capability to pull satellite metadata directly into their development workflows.

FAQ

Questions INPE (STAC API) owners ask.

  • 01

    What satellite missions can I access?

    You can access data from CBERS, Sentinel, and Landsat missions through this MCP.

  • 02

    Do I need to write code to query the data?

    No. You can query the satellite catalogs using natural language through your AI client.

  • 03

    What is the STAC specification?

    STAC is a standard for describing Earth observation data, which this MCP uses to make searching easy.

  • 04

    How do I use my own credentials?

    You enter your Brazil Data Cube (BDC) Access Key during the setup process.

  • 05

    Can I search for specific areas?

    Yes. You can use bounding boxes to tell your agent exactly which geographic area you are interested in.

  • 06

    How can I see what types of satellite data are available?

    Use the list_collections capability. 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.

  • 07

    Can I search for specific images using geographic coordinates?

    Yes! Use the search_items capability 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.

  • 08

    How do I get the technical metadata for a specific collection?

    Use the get_collection capability 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.
