Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to memoryapi.org, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant read-only access to NASA data: near-Earth asteroids, space weather events, and the Astronomy Picture of the Day.

What you can do: Retrieve near-Earth objects from NASA NeoWs, including size, hazard status, closest approach distance and velocity
Fetch space weather events from NASA DONKI, covering solar flares, coronal mass ejections and geomagnetic storms
Get the Astronomy Picture of the Day with its title, explanation and image or video URLs
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about asteroids passing near Earth, solar activity and geomagnetic storms, or to pull the daily NASA astronomy image and its explanation without visiting the site yourself.
Requirements: A remote MCP endpoint at nasa.memoryapi.org over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared. Network access to the endpoint is required.

Before you install

All three tools only read public NASA data, so no writes or spending are involved. Requests go through a third-party host rather than NASA directly, so consider what queries you send to that endpoint.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open NASA Data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/org.memoryapi%2Fnasa/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

72% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
