How do I connect my Maxar account?

You need to provide your Maxar Client ID and Client Secret during the setup process in Vinkius. Once entered, the MCP is ready to use in your AI client.

What kind of imagery can I order?

You can order various data products including visual, multispectral, and panchromatic imagery. These are delivered directly to your cloud storage.

Can I use this with my existing GIS software?

Yes. The MCP can retrieve OGC-compliant streaming endpoints like WMS and WMTS, which you can use in your GIS applications.

Which AI clients are compatible?

This MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I filter imagery by specific satellites?

Yes. You can search for imagery using specific satellite collections, such as WorldView-3, through the discovery capability.

How do I search for satellite imagery in a specific geographic area?

You can use the search_discovery capability by providing a bounding box (bbox) array with [min_lon, min_lat, max_lon, max_lat] coordinates and an optional datetime interval.

Can I get streaming links for use in GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS?

Yes! Use the get_mws_endpoints capability to retrieve the base URLs for OGC-compliant WMS and WMTS services provided by Maxar Web Services.

What information is required to order a specific image?

To use the create_order capability, you need the unique item_id of the image, the desired product_type (e.g., visual), and a delivery_config JSON specifying the destination.

Connect Maxar Satellite Imagery to ChatGPT and Claude

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. Bring high-resolution earth intelligence to your AI agent.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Maxar.

01
Search discovery
This capability queries the Maxar Discovery Service. You can use it to find imagery based on bounding boxes, timeframes, or specific satellite collections.
02
List order pipelines
This capability shows you the available ordering pipelines. It helps your agent understand which delivery paths are open for your data requests.
03
Create order
This capability places orders for specific Maxar data products. Use it to request visual, multispectral, or panchromatic imagery for delivery to your cloud storage.
04
Get mws endpoints
This capability retrieves Maxar Web Services (MWS) endpoints. It provides the base URLs needed for OGC-compliant streaming like WMS or WMTS.

Real work

What teams actually run

ML Training Data Acquisition

An AI agent finds and orders specific multispectral imagery to train a computer vision model.

Rapid Site Inspection

A researcher queries for recent imagery of a specific bounding box to check for changes on the ground.

GIS Application Development

A developer uses the agent to grab WMS/WMTS endpoints to populate a custom map dashboard.

Automated Metadata Collection

A data pipeline uses the agent to pull ARD tile metadata for large-scale geospatial datasets.

Automate a task

Put Maxar 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

Maxar 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 Maxar 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 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 Maxar, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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