Connects Claude to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory APIs for solar system data and near-Earth object tracking. You get access to orbital mechanics calculations, asteroid and comet lookups, close approach predictions, and impact risk assessments from JPL's Small-Body Database and CNEOS systems. Useful when you need authoritative ephemeris data, want to query potentially hazardous asteroids, or build tools that work with real planetary science datasets. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure, so you can either use this standalone endpoint or connect to their full collection of 836+ data sources. The ask_pipeworx interface lets you query in natural language instead of calling specific tool functions.
NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics + CNEOS MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 836+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"jpl-ssd": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/jpl-ssd/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 836+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Jpl Ssd data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
