INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP Connector for Claude

F

Access Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) satellite data via STAC API — search collections, list items, and query Earth observation metadata.

6 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

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_catalog and get_conformance.
  • Collection Browsing — List all available data collections (e.g., CBERS4, Sentinel-2) and fetch detailed metadata for specific ones with list_collections and get_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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Brazil Data Cube (BDC) Access Key
  3. 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.

List all available satellite data collections from INPE.

I've retrieved the available collections from the INPE STAC server. You can access datasets such as 'CBERS4-WFI-16D-2', 'S2-16D-2', and 'LANDSAT-8-16D-2'. Which one would you like to explore further?

Search for satellite items in the bounding box [-48, -16, -47, -15] for the year 2023.

Searching across collections... I found several items matching your criteria. For example, in the 'S2-16D-2' collection, there are scenes from various dates in 2023 covering those coordinates. Would you like the specific asset links for one of these items?

Get details for the collection 'CBERS4-WFI-16D-2'.

The 'CBERS4-WFI-16D-2' collection is a 16-day surface reflectance composite from the CBERS-4 WFI sensor. It covers the period from 2014 to the present and includes bands like Blue, Green, Red, and NIR. Do you want to list the most recent items from this collection?

Use the `list_collections` tool. It will return a list of all available datasets in the INPE Brazil Data Cube, such as CBERS-4, Sentinel-2, and various synthesized data cubes.
