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 · 5 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through NASA.

  1. 01

    Get neo feed

    This capability pulls a feed of near-Earth asteroids approaching within a specific date range. It provides the estimated diameter, velocity, miss distance, and hazard status for each object.

  2. 02

    Get neo lookup

    Use this capability to get deep technical details about a specific asteroid. You'll need the NASA SPK-ID from the feed to pull its specific data.

  3. 03

    Get close approaches

    This capability queries JPL CNEOS for future Earth encounters. You can filter the results by minimum size, date range, or distance threshold.

Capability set02 / 02

04-05

2 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through NASA.

  1. 04

    Get neo browse

    This capability lets you walk through the complete catalog of known near-Earth objects. It returns results in paginated sets of 20 asteroids at a time.

  2. 05

    Get fireballs

    This capability retrieves data on atmospheric fireball events detected by US government sensors. It includes the location, velocity, altitude, and energy in kilotons of TNT equivalent.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Planetary Defense Monitoring

Set your agent to watch for specific close approach thresholds to stay informed on potential hazards.

02

Space Weather Research

Use the fireball capability to track atmospheric impacts and energy releases worldwide.

03

Asteroid Cataloging

Browse the full list of known near-Earth objects to build datasets for study.

04

Rapid Fact Checking

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

NASA 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 NASA 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. 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.

Who it's for

Built for the work NASA owners hand off.

This MCP is built for people who need direct, uncurated access to NASA and JPL planetary defense data through an AI interface.

  • 01

    Space Researchers

    They hand off data retrieval and catalog browsing to the agent to speed up preliminary research.

  • 02

    Science Communicators

    They use the agent to quickly pull facts about asteroid flybys or fireball events for public updates.

  • 03

    Data Analysts

    They use the agent to filter through large datasets of near-Earth objects based on size or distance.

FAQ

Questions NASA owners ask.

  • 01

    Where does the asteroid data come from?

    The data is sourced directly from NASA's NeoWs API and JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).

  • 02

    How do I look up a specific asteroid?

    You can use the get_neo_lookup capability. You will need the specific NASA SPK-ID for that asteroid to get its details.

  • 03

    Can I track fireballs?

    Yes, the get_fireballs capability provides data on atmospheric fireball events detected by US government sensors, including energy and location.

  • 04

    Does this MCP work with my existing AI capabilities?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    Can I filter asteroids by size?

    Yes, the get_close_approaches capability allows you to filter future encounters by a minimum size threshold.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
