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

Juggling multiple space agency websites for updates shouldn't take twenty tabs and five hours., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Right now, if you need to track a mission—say, the latest on Starship—you open the NASA site for official reports. Then you jump to SpaceX's blog for community sentiment. Next, you go to an academic news feed just for articles. You spend time copy-pasting dates and comparing data across wildly different formats.

With this MCP server, your agent handles the chaos. Instead of tabs, it runs `list_articles` and `list_blogs`. It pulls all three content types into a single structured response—a clean feed you can read or process immediately.

get_report: Pulling formal documentation in milliseconds.

Before this, finding the official ISS daily status meant navigating deep into a specific agency's archive page and hoping the PDF wasn't moved or deleted. It was a manual process with high friction and zero automation.

Now, your agent calls `get_report`. You pass the ID, and you get the structured content directly. The time spent searching for reports drops to zero.

What your AI can actually do with this

You don't gotta hop between NASA’s site and ESA’s feed just for an update on deep-space missions anymore. This server gives your AI agent a single API endpoint to pull live, verified spaceflight data from multiple sources. It exposes specific tools that tell your agent exactly how to get the content you need—whether it's a technical paper or just some hot takes from the community.

If you want to know if the whole thing is up and running before you start sending requests, use get_info. That checks the operational status of the Spaceflight News API server itself.

For news coverage, your options are solid. If you need details on one specific article—say, the full write-up about a particular satellite launch—you run get_article and give it that unique ID; that pulls the entire text and all the associated metadata for just that piece. But what if you’re trying to cover a big event? You use list_articles.

That tool searches through thousands of news articles, letting you filter results by specific keywords, date ranges, or even source agency across multiple providers. It's how you pull a comprehensive feed without logging in anywhere.

When it comes to the community chatter—the good stuff—you got blog posts. If you want to see what the experts are talking about right now, use list_blogs to get a list of recent entries. Then, if one post catches your eye, run get_blog and supply its ID; that gives you the full content and metadata for just that single community discussion piece.

For documentation—the heavy stuff—you're talking about reports. If you need official documents, like a detailed daily status update on the ISS or a mission analysis paper, you first list what’s available using list_reports. This gives you all the metadata for formal reports. Once your agent knows which report you want, it runs get_report and supplies that unique identifier to fetch the full technical document.

Basically, this server handles three content types: standard news articles covering missions, specialized blog posts offering opinion pieces, and formal technical reports like daily status updates. You tell your agent what data type you need—articles, blogs, or reports—and it pulls everything from verified sources without you ever having to worry about the original source website.

It's a single stream of space knowledge for your AI client.

Questions you might have

How do I find all articles about a topic using list_articles? +

You run list_articles and pass your search term (e.g., 'James Webb') into the appropriate filter parameter. The tool returns a structured list of matching news reports from multiple sources.

Can I use get_blog to find historical posts? +

The get_blog tool is designed for specific, known IDs. If you need history, first run list_blogs and filter by date or keyword to find the correct post ID before calling get_blog.

What if I want to see both articles and blogs from one query? +

You have to chain tools. Ask your agent to first run list_articles and then, separately, run list_blogs. The system needs two distinct calls to gather content from two separate data streams.

Do I need special credentials for get_info? +

No. You just call get_info, and the server checks its own status, telling you if all news feeds are currently live or if there's an issue with tracking.

When I run multiple queries with `list_articles`, how does rate limiting work? +

Your AI client should expect a specific HTTP 429 error when you hit the usage limit. The server returns details indicating how long to wait before retrying your request, so you can implement proper backoff logic.

If I pass an invalid or missing report ID to `get_report`, what should my agent expect? +

The tool will return a 404 Not Found error. This means the specific spaceflight report doesn't exist in our database, so your agent must check the status code before trying to parse the data.

What is the difference between using `list_reports` and calling `get_info`? +

list_reports returns a paginated list of available report summaries, giving you titles and dates. However, get_info only provides metadata about the API itself—it doesn't list any specific reports.

Does using `list_blogs` require me to specify date ranges? +

No, you don't need a date range parameter. By default, it returns the most recent posts first, but you can filter results by adding an optional start and end date query.

How can I find news articles specifically about Mars or SpaceX? +

You can use the list_articles tool and provide a keyword in the search parameter. For example, searching for 'Mars' will return all articles containing that term in the title or summary.

Can I filter news by a specific source like NASA or SpaceNews? +

Yes! Use the list_articles or list_blogs tools with the news_site parameter to filter results from a specific provider.

How do I see which news sites are currently supported by the API? +

Simply run the get_info tool. It returns metadata about the API, including a list of all news sites currently being tracked.
