orbit-sentinel-mcp
The Orbit Sentinel MCP server provides regulatory intelligence across 419,000+ space regulatory filings from FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, FAA-AST, and other sources. Here's what you can do:
Research & Search
research— Primary entry point for natural-language questions; searches filings, entities, and a semantic index in parallelsearch_filings— Search regulatory filings by keyword, agency, type, status, docket, and date rangesearch_semantic— Meaning-based (vector) search across filing textsearch_entities— Find companies, operators, manufacturers, or governments by name, type, or country
Filing & Entity Details
get_filing_detail— Full details of a filing: spectrum data, orbital parameters, ground stations, signals, and policy argumentsget_entity_profile— Entity filing history, related entities, linked satellites, and cross-referencesget_entity_dossier— Cross-source dossier combining filings, SEC signals, sanctions screening, satellites, ground stations, federal awards, and surety bonds
Spectrum & Orbital Assets
search_spectrum— Find which entities hold a given frequency band, filterable by agency, direction, and polarizationsearch_satellites— Search the satellite catalog by name, operator, country, orbit class, NORAD/COSPAR IDsearch_ground_stations— Search ground/earth stations by name, frequency, operator, or geographic proximity
Policy & Analytics
search_positions— Search LLM-extracted policy arguments from filings by docket, stance, or argument typeget_filing_trends— Filing volume trends over time, including top movers year-over-yearget_top_filers— Rank entities by filing count, filterable by agency, type, and dateget_filing_distribution— Filing count breakdown by type and agency
Financial & Compliance
get_bond_portfolio— FCC surety bond portfolios for satellite operatorssearch_federal_awards— U.S. federal contracts/IDVs from USAspendingsearch_sec_filings— SEC filings (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K) for tracked space companiessearch_screening— Check entities against sanctions/export-control lists (OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, ITAR Debarred, etc.)
Launch History & System
get_launch_history— Launch history from the FAA/GCAT database including vehicle, site, and outcomeget_system_status— System health, database connectivity, pipeline queue, and per-source crawl status
Provides access to extracted space regulatory filings from the FCC, enabling search and retrieval of filings related to satellite and spectrum matters.
Orbit Sentinel MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Orbit Sentinel — 419,000+ extracted space regulatory filings from FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, and FAA-AST, queryable from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.
An API key is required. Beta access: https://console.viventine.com.
The server is a thin, open-source (MIT) stdio client of the public REST API — five Go files, easy to audit before you run it.
Install
Homebrew (macOS — recommended)
brew install --cask viventine-space/tap/orbit-sentinel-mcpInstalls to $(brew --prefix)/bin/orbit-sentinel-mcp, handles the quarantine
flag for you, and upgrades with brew upgrade.
Manual download
Download the archive for your platform from the latest release, then:
tar -xzf orbit-sentinel-mcp_*.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/bin && mv orbit-sentinel-mcp ~/bin/macOS only — the binary is not notarized yet, so clear the quarantine flag once:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/bin/orbit-sentinel-mcpWindows: unzip and note the full path to orbit-sentinel-mcp.exe.
Build from source
go install github.com/viventine-space/orbit-sentinel-mcp@latestRelated MCP server: N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server
Configure
The server reads two environment variables:
Variable | Purpose |
| Orbit Sentinel API base URL ( |
| Your API key from the console |
Claude Desktop — add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
(Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json), using the absolute
path to the binary (~ is not expanded):
{
"mcpServers": {
"orbit-sentinel": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/orbit-sentinel-mcp",
"env": {
"MCP_API_URL": "https://orbit-sentinel.viventine.com",
"MCP_API_KEY": "<your-key>"
}
}
}
}Claude Code — one command:
claude mcp add orbit-sentinel \
--env MCP_API_URL=https://orbit-sentinel.viventine.com \
--env MCP_API_KEY=<your-key> \
-- ~/bin/orbit-sentinel-mcpRestart your client; the Orbit Sentinel tools (research, search_filings,
get_entity_profile, …) appear in the tools menu.
Releasing (maintainers)
Tag and push — GitHub Actions builds and publishes all platforms:
git tag v0.x.y && git push origin v0.x.yAsset names are version-stable (orbit-sentinel-mcp_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz), so
releases/latest/download/... URLs always serve the newest build.
Then repeat the Glama release
— it does not auto-update from GitHub, and it gates the quality score on the
badge above. On the Dockerfile admin page,
the saved build spec should carry over (build steps install Go and go build;
placeholder parameters need a dummy MCP_API_KEY to satisfy the env schema) —
click Build, then Make Release with the new version. Manual for now;
consider Glama API integration next release cycle.
