Before you connect

Questions about Planet Labs.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can I use Planet Labs MCP to find images for my farm?

Yes, it's great for that. You can search for specific areas and filter for clear, cloud-free shots to monitor crop health and growth patterns.

How does Planet Labs MCP handle cloud cover?

It provides an estimate of the clear area percentage before you download anything. This ensures you don't waste time or credits on images that are too cloudy to be useful.

Can I automate my satellite data downloads?

Yes, you can create subscriptions that automatically send new imagery to your storage or a webhook as soon as it's available, making your monitoring hands-free.

What satellite types are available?

The Connector gives you access to PlanetScope, SkySat, RapidEye, Landsat, and Sentinel-2, allowing you to choose the right resolution and revisit time for your project.

Can I see how many images are available in my area?

Yes, the Connector can pull statistics to show you the history of imagery availability for a specific location, which helps you plan your data collection schedule.

Is this good for disaster response?

It's perfect for that because you can quickly pull high-resolution images of a specific site to assess damage or identify blocked roads in real time.

Can my AI search for cloud-free satellite imagery over my farm from last month?

Yes! Use the quick_search capability with your farm boundary as GeoJSON geometry, date range for last month, item_types=PSScene, and max_cloud_cover=10 (for 10% or less cloud cover). The search returns all available imagery matching your criteria with acquisition dates, cloud cover percentages, and download URLs for visual and analytic assets. For ongoing monitoring, create a saved search with create_saved_search and execute it regularly with get_search_results.

What is the difference between PSScene, SkySat, and RapidEye imagery?

PSScene (PlanetScope) provides daily global coverage at 3-5m resolution with 200+ satellites, ideal for broad-area monitoring and time-series analysis. SkySat offers sub-meter resolution (0.5-0.9m) with video capability, perfect for detailed inspection of specific sites. RapidEye provides 5m resolution with a 5-band sensor (including red-edge) and a deep historical archive dating back to 2009. Use list_item_types to see all available imagery types and their supported asset types.

How do I set up automated daily imagery delivery for my area of interest?

Use the create_subscription capability with your area geometry, item types (e.g., PSScene), and cloud cover filter. You can specify delivery to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, or webhook endpoints. The subscription will continuously deliver new imagery matching your criteria as it becomes available. To manage existing subscriptions, use list_subscriptions to review and monitor active deliveries.
