Running on Cursor
Configuring Cursor 🖥️ Note: Requires Cursor version 0.45.6+
To configure NASA MCP Server in Cursor:
Create or edit an mcp.json
file in your Cursor configuration directory with the following content:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nasa-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@programcomputer/nasa-mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"NASA_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Replace your-api-key
with your NASA API key from https://api.nasa.gov/.
After adding the configuration, restart Cursor to see the new NASA tools. The Composer Agent will automatically use NASA MCP when appropriate for space-related queries.

MCP Client Usage
This server follows the official Model Context Protocol. Here's an example of how to use it with the MCP SDK:
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { HttpClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/http.js";
const transport = new HttpClientTransport({
url: "http://localhost:3000",
});
const client = new Client({
name: "mcp-client",
version: "1.0.0",
});
await client.connect(transport);
// Example: Get today's Astronomy Picture of the Day
const apodResult = await client.request({
method: "nasa/apod",
params: {}
});
// Example: Get Mars Rover photos
const marsRoverResult = await client.request({
method: "nasa/mars-rover",
params: { rover: "curiosity", sol: 1000 }
});
// Example: Search for Near Earth Objects
const neoResults = await client.request({
method: "nasa/neo",
params: {
start_date: '2023-01-01',
end_date: '2023-01-07'
}
});
// Example: Get satellite imagery from GIBS
const satelliteImage = await client.request({
method: "nasa/gibs",
params: {
layer: 'MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor',
date: '2023-01-01'
}
});
// Example: Use the new POWER API
const powerData = await client.request({
method: "nasa/power",
params: {
parameters: "T2M,PRECTOTCORR,WS10M",
community: "re",
latitude: 40.7128,
longitude: -74.0060,
