Tools

• cone_search(ra, dec, radius_arcmin, mission?, limit?) — search MAST around a point

• mission_search(mission, criteria, limit?) — search by mission with criteria object

• caom(query) — generic CAOM (Common Archive Observation Model) query

Data source

https://mast.stsci.edu/api/v0/ (legacy POST-based JSON API).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mast-nasa": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mast-nasa/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 Mast Nasa data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
