Click on "Install 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., "@mcp-celestrakGet latest TLE data for ISS"
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.

CelesTrak MCP — satellite orbital elements (TLE / GP data) for any tracked object.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Get satellite orbital elements (TLE / GP data) for a single object by NORAD catalog ID. Returns orbital parameters: inclination, eccentricity, mean motion, RAAN, argument of perigee, epoch, and derived orbital period in minutes. norad_id 25544 = ISS, 20580 = Hubble. This is the orbital catalog, not live position tracking. |
| Search the satellite catalog by name substring and return matching orbital elements (TLE / GP data). e.g. "STARLINK", "NOAA", "GPS". Returns up to 50 matches with orbital parameters (inclination, eccentricity, period). Catalog/orbital data, not live tracking. |
| List orbital elements (TLE / GP data) for an entire CelesTrak group — e.g. the Starlink, GPS, or weather satellite catalog. Groups: "stations", "starlink", "gps-ops", "weather", "science", "geo", "active". Returns up to 100 satellites with orbital parameters (inclination, eccentricity, period). Catalog/orbital data, not live tracking. |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"celestrak": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/celestrak/mcp"
}
}
}Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Celestrak data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
