Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 14 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Sifting through global geospatial archives manually takes forever., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Today, analyzing a location's environmental history means logging into multiple government portals. You copy coordinates into one tool for radar data; you open another tab to check optical images; and then you cross-reference dates across three different interfaces just to know if the cloud cover was consistent over time.

With this MCP, your agent handles the whole process. It takes a natural language request—like 'Compare the area's state in January 2021 vs. January 2023'—and manages the necessary searches and metadata checks automatically. You get back structured data ready for analysis.

Get Product Download URL

The tedious part of traditional workflows was figuring out if a product existed, checking its file structure, and then finally initiating the download—all requiring manual steps and credential handling.

Now, you ask your agent to generate an authenticated download link. It handles the tokens, verifies the file, and provides a clean URL for immediate retrieval. That's it.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP gives you direct access to the EU Copernicus program archives. Instead of navigating complex government portals, your agent handles the heavy lifting: it searches across multiple satellite types (like Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2 optical) using spatial coordinates, temporal filters, and detailed metadata attributes. You can count how many products are available before committing to a full search, inspect specific product files for necessary data nodes, or generate temporary download links for raw datasets.

The system allows you to find the best data source—say, cloud-free imagery from three days ago rather than yesterday's cloudy shot—and pull that data directly into your workflow via Vinkius.

The key thing is that it doesn't just give you a list of files; it gives you the means to assess the entire dataset and plan the retrieval process.

Questions you might have

How do I find out what satellite data types are available using list_collections? +

Calling list_collections gives you a comprehensive inventory of every dataset, such as Sentinel-1 (radar) and Landsat. It shows their technical name and general coverage area.

What is the best search method: search_by_bbox or search_products? +

If you only have coordinates, use search_by_bbox. If you know the collection type (like SENTINEL-2) and a date range, search_products offers the most detailed control.

Can I check if my credentials are working before searching with check_copernicus_status? +

Yes. Running check_copernicus_status verifies your client ID and secret keys immediately, confirming connectivity without wasting time on a large data query.

Does get_quicklook download the whole file for me? +

No. get_quicklook only fetches thumbnail previews and the internal file node structure. It lets you verify product contents before triggering the full download using get_product_download_url.

How can I check the data volume using count_products before running a full search? +

The count_products tool provides an immediate estimate of how many products match your criteria. This saves time and resources by letting you gauge scale without executing a massive, slow search query.

What is the difference between get_product and list_product_nodes? +

get_product returns core metadata like file size and checksum. However, list_product_nodes gives you the full directory hierarchy, showing every contained file—measurement data, XML files, quicklooks, etc.—essential for selective downloading.

How does get_product_download_url handle secure access to raw satellite data? +

get_product_download_url generates a time-limited Bearer token and the direct download URL. This ensures that your access is authenticated and temporary, keeping the raw product retrieval secure.

If I want to refine my search criteria, how do I use list_attributes? +

list_attributes shows you all available metadata filters for a given collection. Before running search_products, run this tool first; it tells you exactly what parameters (like cloud cover or processing level) you can include.

How do I get Copernicus OAuth2 credentials? +

Register for free at dataspace.copernicus.eu, navigate to your User Settings dashboard, and create a new OAuth client. You'll receive a Client ID and Client Secret — enter them in the format client_id:client_secret. The entire process takes under 2 minutes.

What satellite data is available through this server? +

You can access data from all Copernicus Sentinel missions: Sentinel-1 (SAR radar imagery), Sentinel-2 (high-resolution optical imagery at 10m), Sentinel-3 (ocean and land monitoring), Sentinel-5P (atmospheric composition), Sentinel-6 (sea level altimetry), plus complementary data from Landsat, SMOS, and MERIS missions.

Can I download satellite products through this server? +

Yes. Use the get_product_download_url tool with a product UUID to generate a time-limited authenticated download URL. The URL and Bearer token are valid for approximately one hour. Products are typically in ESA SAFE format and can range from hundreds of megabytes to several gigabytes.
