One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 5 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 NASA, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions NASA owners ask.

  • 01

    What does 'potentially hazardous' mean?

    A Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) passes within 0.05 AU (~7.5 million km) and is larger than 140 meters. This doesn't mean it will hit Earth. just that its orbit warrants monitoring.

  • 02

    How frequently is the asteroid data updated?

    The NeoWs API is updated daily with the latest orbital calculations and close approach tracking data from JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

  • 03

    Does this API include data on historical asteroid impacts?

    Yes, the API provides access to fireball and bolide data, which tracks bright atmospheric meteor events detected by government sensors, including historical records.
