Summary
Connects your AI agent to NASA's public fireball and near-Earth object datasets through Pipeworx's MCP gateway. You get access to meteor sightings, close approach data, and asteroid tracking without dealing with NASA's raw APIs yourself. The gateway handles the data fetching and lets you query in plain English through ask_pipeworx, or you can call tools directly if you want precise control. Useful when you're building astronomy features, tracking space objects, or just need reliable celestial event data without the usual API authentication dance. Part of Pipeworx's larger collection of 673+ data sources, so you can add it standalone or tap into the full gateway.

Meteors MCP — NASA fireball, near-Earth asteroid, and close approach data
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_fireballs | Track recent meteor impacts and atmospheric explosions detected by US government sensors. Returns impact energy, radiated energy, velocity, altitude, and geographic location. |
get_close_approaches | Find near-Earth asteroids making close approaches within 0.05 AU. Returns object name, approach date, miss distance, velocity, and diameter to identify potentially hazardous objects. |
get_neo_feed | Get near-Earth objects passing Earth during a date range (e.g., "2024-01-01" to "2024-12-31"). Returns asteroid names, sizes, velocities, miss distances, and hazard status. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"meteors": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/meteors/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/meteors/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Meteors data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
