Space Launches & Astronauts MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Every rocket launch on Earth, as an MCP: upcoming and past launches (SpaceX, NASA, Roscosmos, CASC...), astronauts in orbit, agencies, rocket specs — Launch Library 2, anonymous or with API token for high rate limits.

The global spaceflight registry (Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs) as a single MCP server — every orbital launch attempt on Earth, past and future.

What you can do

  • Upcoming launches — live schedules with "Go for Launch" status, launch windows, provider, rocket, orbit, pad (Baikonur, Cape Canaveral, Wenchang...) and live-webcast flags
  • Launch history — outcomes with failure reasons; thousands of launches searchable by name ("Starship", "Artemis", "Soyuz")
  • Astronauts — profiles with flight counts, spacewalk hours, birthdates and the in_space=true filter: who is in orbit right now
  • Agencies & rockets — NASA (id 44), SpaceX (121), Roscosmos (63)... with launch stats; 532 rocket configurations with specs (thrust, payload to LEO, stages)
  • Optional API token — anonymous access works out of the box (~15 req/h); add a free thespacedevs.com token in the credentials tab to unlock 1000+ req/h

Why it matters

Spaceflight is mainstream now: Starship test flights, Artemis, Chinese megaconstellations. This MCP gives agents the authoritative live schedule and history — no scraping news sites.

Who is this for?

Space content creators, news monitoring, developers building launch-notification apps, researchers, and anyone whose agent should know that a Falcon 9 just lifted off.

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

get_next_launches

Supports LSP id filtering (e.g. 121 = SpaceX). Offset/limit pagination — the API has thousands of scheduled launches. Get the next upcoming rocket launches worldwide (SpaceX, NASA, Roscosmos, CASC...)

get_past_launches

Use for "did that launch succeed?" and launch-rate research. Get past rocket launches with outcomes (success/failure reasons)

search_launches

Returns the same launch details as get_next_launches — works for both upcoming and historical launches. Search launches by name or mission (e.g. "Artemis", "Starship", "Falcon 9")

get_launch_details

Use ids from other launch tools. Get every detail of ONE launch by id: mission, rocket config, pad, window, probability, streams

get_astronauts

Filter is_human=true to exclude animals. Great for "who is currently in orbit?". Search astronauts: who is in space right now, flight counts, agencies

get_space_agency

Use agencies seen in launch data. Get details of a space agency: launch stats, founded, description, spacecraft

search_rockets

g. "Falcon 9", "Starship", "Soyuz", "Ariane"): full_name, family, maiden_flight, payload capacity, thrust, height, stages. The reference tool for rocket-spec questions. Browse rocket configurations (532 rockets): families, maiden flights, thrust, payload

What's the next rocket launch and can I watch it live?

🚀 **Next launch** **Progress MS-35 (96P)** — Soyuz 2.1b, ROSCOSMOS - Status: **Go for Launch** - Window: 2026-09-09 16:15 UTC - Pad: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan - Orbit: Low Earth Orbit (ISS resupply) Webcast link included in the data. Two more launches within the next 48h — want the full week schedule?

Who is in space right now?

👨‍🚀 **Astronauts currently in orbit (in_space=true)** - NASA crew members aboard ISS Expedition (flights 2-4 each) - Roscosmos cosmonauts with 300+ days cumulative - Spacewalk totals pulled from EVA records I can pull any astronaut's full profile — bio, agency, mission history.

Specs of the Falcon 9 — payload, thrust, first flight

🛰️ **Falcon 9 (SpaceX, config from LL2)** - Family: Falcon - Maiden flight: 2010-06-04 - Payload to LEO: ~22,800 kg (full data in the response) - Stages: 2 (+ booster reuse) I can compare with Electron, Vulcan or list every Falcon 9 launch ever — there are hundreds.

Not necessarily: anonymous access works immediately (about 15 requests/hour). For heavier use, register free at thespacedevs.com and paste the token into the MCP's credentials tab — it unlocks 1000+ requests/hour.
