Copernicus Data Space

Copernicus Data Space MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Access satellite imagery and Earth observation datasets from the EU Copernicus program for environmental and geospatial analysis.

14 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and unlock the world's largest open Earth observation archive directly from your AI agent.

What you can do

  • Product Discovery — Search across Sentinel-1 (radar), Sentinel-2 (optical), Sentinel-3 (ocean/land), Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), and Sentinel-6 (altimetry) collections with temporal, spatial, and attribute filters
  • Geographic Search — Find satellite products covering any location on Earth using bounding box coordinates or WKT polygon geometries
  • Orbit-Based Queries — Retrieve data from specific satellite orbits for interferometry, change detection, and repeat-pass analysis
  • Product Inspection — Access complete metadata, quicklook previews, and internal file structure for any product
  • Download Orchestration — Generate authenticated download URLs with time-limited Bearer tokens for direct product retrieval
  • Data Volume Assessment — Count products matching your criteria before executing full searches

14 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

check_copernicus_status

Returns the connection status. Use this to verify your client_id:client_secret credentials are working correctly. Verify Copernicus Data Space API connectivity and authentication

count_products

Useful for understanding data volume before executing a full search, or for monitoring data availability trends. Count total products available for a collection and date range

get_collection

Use collection names like "SENTINEL-2", "SENTINEL-1", or "SENTINEL-3". Get details about a specific Copernicus collection

get_product_download_url

Returns the direct download URL along with a Bearer token valid for approximately one hour. Use this to download raw satellite data products (typically in SAFE format for Sentinel data). Generate an authenticated download URL for a product

get_product

Returns name, sensing time, footprint geometry, file size, checksum, and all associated attributes. Use this after searching to inspect a specific product before downloading. Get detailed metadata for a specific satellite product by UUID

get_quicklook

Useful for understanding the product structure and accessing thumbnail previews without downloading the full product. Get quicklook preview and file nodes for a product

list_attributes

This helps you understand what filtering parameters are available (e.g., cloud cover percentage, orbit direction, processing level) for refining product searches. List available metadata attributes for a collection

list_collections

Includes Sentinel-1 (radar), Sentinel-2 (optical), Sentinel-3 (ocean/land), Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), Sentinel-6 (altimetry), and complementary missions like Landsat. Each entry includes temporal coverage and description. List all available Copernicus satellite data collections

list_latest_products

Useful for monitoring new data availability or checking processing pipeline status. List the most recently published satellite products

list_product_nodes

Returns the hierarchy of files including measurement data, metadata XML, quicklook images, and auxiliary data. Essential for understanding product structure before selective download. List all files contained within a satellite product

search_by_bbox

Combines spatial filtering with collection and temporal constraints. Ideal for region-specific analysis workflows. Search satellite products within a geographic bounding box

search_by_name

Useful for finding specific orbits, tiles (e.g., "T33UUP" for Sentinel-2 tile), or granule identifiers. Returns product metadata ordered by sensing date. Search satellite products by name pattern

search_by_orbit_number

Especially useful for Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) repeat-pass analysis, interferometry, and change detection workflows where you need data from the exact same orbit geometry. Search satellite products by orbit number

search_products

Specify a collection name (e.g., "SENTINEL-2", "SENTINEL-1"), a date range in YYYY-MM-DD format, and optionally an area of interest as a WKT polygon. Returns product metadata including name, footprint, size, and publication date. Maximum 20 results by default. Search Sentinel satellite products by collection, date range, and area

Find Sentinel-2 satellite images over Lisbon from the last week.

Searching the Copernicus catalogue for SENTINEL-2 products over Lisbon... I found 8 products in the last 7 days. The most recent is S2B_MSIL2A acquired yesterday with 12% cloud cover. The cleanest scene has only 3% cloud cover from 3 days ago. Would you like me to get the download URL for the cloud-free scene?

How many Sentinel-1 radar products are available for January 2026?

Counting SENTINEL-1 products for January 2026... The catalogue contains 42,738 products for that period. Sentinel-1 acquires radar imagery regardless of cloud cover or daylight, so coverage is continuous. Would you like me to search for products in a specific region?

What data collections are available in the Copernicus Data Space?

Fetching available collections... The Copernicus Data Space currently hosts 15 data collections including SENTINEL-1 (C-band SAR radar), SENTINEL-2 (multispectral optical at 10-60m), SENTINEL-3 (ocean color and land surface), SENTINEL-5P (tropospheric monitoring), SENTINEL-6 (precise ocean altimetry), plus Landsat-5/7/8/9, SMOS, MERIS, and DEM datasets. Would you like details about a specific collection?
