Provides tools for exploring NASA Space Apps 2026 challenges, curated NASA datasets, starter code, and live search of NASA's CMR catalog, enabling AI agents to find relevant NASA data collections and resources for each challenge.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Every NASA Space Apps 2026 challenge, traced to the NASA data that can solve it.
Site: https://spacedata.swapniltamse.com
MCP server: https://spacedata.swapniltamse.com/mcp
For each of the 14 challenges you get suggested datasets in order of usefulness, what access each one needs (nothing, a free API key, or a free Earthdata Login), starter code that runs, a live search of NASA's catalog, and related 2025 global winners.
Independent project. Not affiliated with, produced by, or endorsed by NASA or NASA Space Apps. Challenge summaries are paraphrased and link to the official statements on spaceappschallenge.org. Dataset suggestions are curated, not the official resource lists.

File | What it holds |
| Slug, title, official link, level, subjects, paraphrased summary |
| Curated datasets and APIs with access type, auth, browser CORS, CMR concept IDs |
| Short Python and JavaScript snippets, run before publishing. The build also writes each Python one to |
| Which datasets fit each challenge, plus first-hour steps |
| 2025 global winners from NASA's announcement, matched to 2026 challenges by theme |
Checks: npm run validate (schemas, cross-references, disclaimer on every page), npm run check:cmr (every concept ID still has files), npm run check:links.
