Why people use NASA Exoplanets
NASA Exoplanets for Exoplanet Archive Data Research
This Connector cuts that out by letting your agent do the querying for you. You just tell your agent what you need, and it pulls the specific radii, temperatures, and discovery methods into a clean list.
What Vinkius changes
You get instant access to NASA's planetary database without the manual research.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about NASA.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Does NASA Exoplanets MCP require an API key?
No, it does not. This Connector uses the NASA TAP service, which is completely open and does not require you to manage any individual API keys or credentials.
Can I find planets with liquid water using NASA Exoplanets MCP?
Yes, you can. You can ask your agent to find planets in the habitable zone, which identifies rocky worlds where conditions might allow for liquid water.
Does NASA Exoplanets MCP include data from the Kepler mission?
Yes, it includes data from some of the most important missions, including Kepler and TESS, as well as various other discovery facilities.
Can I search for planets by the year they were discovered?
Yes, you can filter the results by year to see how many planets were found during specific periods, such as the peak discovery years of the 2010s.
Is NASA Exoplanets MCP for confirmed planets only?
Yes, this Connector specifically queries the confirmed exoplanet archive, ensuring that the data you get has been verified by NASA's planetary science teams.
Can I use NASA Exoplanets MCP to find specific orbital periods?
Yes, when you query for planets, the capability returns specific metrics including orbital periods, radii, mass, and equilibrium temperatures.
What is the habitable zone?
The habitable zone ('Goldilocks zone') is the range of distances from a star where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface. not too hot, not too cold. We filter for equilibrium temperatures between 200-320K and rocky sizes (< 2 Earth radii).
