INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Connector for Claude
A+Access Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) satellite data via STAC API — search collections, list items, and query Earth observation metadata.
Connect to the INPE Brazil Data Cube and explore high-resolution satellite imagery catalogs through natural language. This server implements the STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) specification to provide seamless access to Earth observation data from missions like CBERS, Sentinel, and Landsat.
What you can do
- Catalog Discovery — Explore the root catalog and check conformance classes of the INPE STAC server using
get_root_catalogandget_conformance. - Collection Browsing — List all available data collections (e.g., CBERS4, Sentinel-2) and fetch detailed metadata for specific ones with
list_collectionsandget_collection. - Item Listing — Retrieve specific scenes and assets within a collection using spatial (bounding box) and temporal filters via
list_collection_items. - Advanced Search — Perform cross-collection searches to find the exact satellite imagery needed for environmental monitoring or research using
search_items.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Brazil Data Cube (BDC) Access Key
- Start querying satellite metadata from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — Quickly find satellite scenes for specific dates and regions without manual API calls or complex scripts.
- Environmental Analysts — Monitor land use, deforestation, or agricultural changes using INPE's curated data cubes directly from your AI assistant.
- GIS Developers — Integrate satellite metadata discovery and asset retrieval directly into your development workflow.
