Integration with NASA Space-Track REST API for fetching satellite TLE data, conjunction data messages (CDMs), and searching the satellite catalog.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@spacetrack-mcpget latest TLE for ISS (NORAD 25544)"
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.
