Tools

Registered MCP endpoints that agents depend on. Tool registration is heavier than agent registration — local-action tools always get human review. The registry stores the metadata and pings each endpoint for health; it does not verify the tool is correct.

cmr_local_pythonv1.0.0active

In-process Python wrapper around NASA's open CMR collections + granules REST API. Exposes search_collections, get_collection_metadata, and get_granules as plain Python callables. The agent imports them directly — no MCP server to host, no API key, no Bearer token. The only network egress is to https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov itself.

playwright_localv1.0.0active

Browser automation MCP server, spawned locally over stdio. Exposes navigate / click / fill_form / snapshot / screenshot tools backed by a real Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit instance running on the user's machine. Agents wired to this tool can read and act on web pages the user is signed into — treat with care; always require human approval.

astroquery_mcp_serverv1.0.0active

Astroquery MCP server. Wraps astropy's astroquery library to give agents discoverable, parameterised access to astronomy data archives (NASA HEASARC, ESA TAP, IRSA, etc.). Also exposes ADS lookups alongside the astroquery surface.

code_search_mcp_serverv1.0.0active

NASA repository code-discovery MCP server. Lets agents search NASA-affiliated code repositories (SDE catalog), surface code-level signals (license, last commit, language mix), and resolve repos by semantic intent. Read-only; surfaces metadata + URLs only.

web_search_toolv1.0.0active

OpenAI Agents SDK built-in web search tool. Lets the agent issue ad-hoc web queries when its dedicated MCP servers don't surface a useful answer. Calls OpenAI's hosted search backend; results are whatever OpenAI's search returns.

pds_mcp_serverv1.0.0active

NASA Planetary Data System (PDS) MCP server. Cross-archive planetary discovery surface — PDS4 catalog (bundles, collections, products, targets, instruments), ODE OGC, OPUS, SBN, and IMG. Read-only metadata and link surface; no downloads.

remote-queryapi-keynasapdshealthy
ads_searchv1.0.0active

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Search MCP server. Surfaces bibliographic records, abstracts, and stable bibcode/DOI links for astrophysics literature. Returns metadata and resolver links; never downloads or stores the underlying paper content.

cmr_mcp_serverv1.0.0active

NASA Common Metadata Repository (CMR) MCP server. Read-only Earth-observation catalog search — surfaces collections, granules, and collection-level metadata. The agent never selects, ranks, or endorses a dataset; it returns what CMR's search returns.
