DONKI is NASA's Database Of Notifications, Knowledge, and Information, which tracks space weather events like solar flares and CMEs.

How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect the MCP once through the Vinkius interface, and it becomes a capability available to your AI client automatically.

Can I track specific solar flare classes?

Yes, the MCP allows your agent to retrieve solar flare data categorized into C, M, and X classes.

Does this provide real-time updates?

Yes, the MCP provides access to real-time notifications and recent event data from the DONKI system.

What kind of solar events can my agent detect?

Your agent can detect CMEs, solar flares, geomagnetic storms, interplanetary shocks, solar energetic particles, and radiation belt events.

What is the difference between DONKI and SWPC?

DONKI is NASA's historical database of space weather events with detailed analysis. SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center, under NOAA) focuses on real-time monitoring and forecasting. They complement each other.

What happens during a Geomagnetic Storm?

Geomagnetic storms, triggered by solar activity, can cause auroras, disrupt satellite communications, affect GPS accuracy, and in extreme cases, induce currents that trip electrical grids.

How long does it take for a CME to reach Earth?

Coronal Mass Ejections typically take 1 to 5 days to reach Earth, depending on their speed, which can range from 250 km/s to over 3,000 km/s.

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 · 7 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 7 available through NASA.

01
Get interplanetary shocks
This capability retrieves interplanetary shock wave events from NASA DONKI. These shocks often precede geomagnetic storms and result from CME-driven disturbances.
02
Get cme
This capability fetches Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) events. It provides data on massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields, defaulting to the last 30 days.
03
Get donki notifications
This capability provides a unified feed of all recent space weather notifications. It covers CMEs, flares, storms, shocks, and radiation events in one view.
04
Get geomagnetic storms
This capability pulls geomagnetic storm events including Kp index data. It helps you track storms that affect power grids, GPS, and satellites.

Capability set02 / 02

05-07

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 7 available through NASA.

05
Get radiation belt
This capability retrieves radiation belt enhancement events. It monitors when the Van Allen belts are energized during geomagnetic storms.
06
Get solar energetic particles
This capability accesses Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event data. These particles pose risks to astronauts and satellite electronics.
07
Get solar flares
This capability gets solar flare events categorized by C, M, or X class. It includes timing and active region data for detected flares.

Real work

What teams actually run

Satellite Safety

An operator asks the agent to check for recent radiation belt enhancements to assess risk to orbital assets.

Radio Communication Planning

A technician checks for X-class solar flares to predict potential HF radio blackouts.

Aurora Forecasting

A researcher monitors Kp index levels during geomagnetic storms to predict low-latitude aurora visibility.

Space Weather Summaries

An analyst uses the unified notification feed to get a quick overview of all recent solar activity.

Automate a task

Put NASA 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

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.

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.
