Wraps the StupidAPIs ISS location endpoint and converts the International Space Station's real-time orbital coordinates into a deterministic number. Exposes a single tool, iss_number_generate, that hits the API and returns an integer derived from wherever the station happens to be at that moment. Useful when you need a pseudo-random seed that changes based on physical location in space, or just want a novelty identifier tied to ISS position. Requires an X-API-Key from StupidAPIs. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either connect to this standalone server or access it through their unified gateway alongside 250+ other data sources.
iss-number MCP — wraps StupidAPIs (requires X-API-Key)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
iss_number_generate | Generate a unique number based on the International Space Station's current orbital location. Returns a computed integer derived from ISS coordinates. Use when you need a space-derived identifier or deterministic random seed. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"iss-number": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/iss-number/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ 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 Iss Number data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
