🌌 AuroraLens

The Sun is shouting. AuroraLens listens — live solar-storm + seismic ops on a 3D planet, for humans and agents.

Live App · API · MCP · Issues

⚠️ Safety note: AuroraLens is an educational dashboard, not an operational warning system. For grid, aviation or satellite decisions, always consult official NOAA SWPC alerts directly.

✨ Features

🛰️ Live planetary feeds — NOAA SWPC (Kp, solar wind, X-ray flares, alerts) + USGS M4.5+ quakes, cached API routes, sealed offline fallbacks
🧮 Deterministic storm engine — 0–100 score from 6 itemized factors; same function serves UI, REST and MCP
🤖 MCP agent interface — JSON-RPC initialize / tools/list / tools/call + live in-page console
🔗 Hash-chained seals — SHA-384(prevSeal ‖ canonicalJson) on every assessment, replay-verifiable
🌍 Library-grade 3D — react-globe.gl night-earth with quake points, storm arcs, auroral rings, pause-on-drag auto-rotate
📡 Zero keys, zero setup — clone → install → dev, works offline on first paint

🗺️ Roadmap

Now — make the wow undeniable

Aurora-oval probability layer on the globe → visitors see tonight's aurora zone
Flare timeline scrubber → replay the last 7 days of solar anger
Submit to MCP directories (Smithery, PulseMCP, mcp.so) → agents discover AuroraLens

Next — become infrastructure

WebSocket tick stream (/api/stream) → dashboards embed live scores
Per-grid-zone impact briefs → operators get actionable text, not just numbers
Historical storm archive + comparisons (2003 Halloween, 2024 Gannon) → context goes viral

Later — grow the swarm

A2A agent-to-agent handoffs → planner agents delegate to AuroraLens specialists
Community alert webhooks → Discord/Slack aurora pings for your latitude
Satellite-drag + GPS-impact estimators → serve the space-ops niche that pays attention

See CONTRIBUTING.md. One rule to remember: one function, three consumers — scoring logic lives in src/lib/engine.ts so UI, REST and MCP never drift.

Enables AI agents to query verifiable physical-world ground truth for any point on Earth — water availability, seismic and space-weather hazard, ground stability, and resource indications — with every answer backed by a Bitcoin-anchored provenance record that can be independently verified. It also lets agents check whether an Earth-science hypothesis has already been tested, list documented nulls and retractions, and run bounded controlled tests that return UNTESTABLE rather than fabricate a result.
