How do I use satellite-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@satellite-mcp Show me satellite images of the recent flood in Pakistan" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Design decisions:

27 providers, 1 server — Every data source is an independent module under src/. The AI agent picks which tools to use based on the query.
Per-provider rate limiters — Each data source has its own RateLimiter instance calibrated to that API's limits. No shared bottleneck.
TTL caching — API responses are cached with source-appropriate TTLs: 2 minutes for live aircraft data, 5 minutes for fire data, 15 minutes for satellite catalogs, 30 minutes for NASA archives.
Graceful degradation — Missing API keys never crash the server. Tools return descriptive error messages with instructions: "Set PLANET_API_KEY to enable Planet Labs tools."
Pure computation — Spectral analysis and change detection tools are pure math functions with zero external API calls. NDVI, NDWI, NBR, EVI, and custom band expressions run instantly.
2 dependencies — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod. All HTTP via native fetch(). All geo math is hand-written.

Use Cases

Assess natural disaster impact — Combine earthquake data with terrain elevation, fire detection with burn severity indices, and satellite imagery for before/after analysis
Agricultural drought and food security monitoring — Track vegetation health via NDVI, correlate with NASA POWER weather data, and check FEWS NET famine risk assessments
Cyber-geographic intelligence — Geolocate IP addresses, detect internet censorship and outages, map submarine cable infrastructure, and correlate with conflict data
