Summary
Connects Claude to NASA's MAST archive covering Hubble, JWST, Kepler, and TESS telescopes. You get four tools: cone_search for spatial queries around coordinates, mission_search for filtering observations by specific missions, a generic CAOM endpoint for raw archive queries, and lookup_name to resolve astronomical targets to coordinates. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either use it standalone or bundle it with 250+ other data sources through a single connection. Useful when you're building astronomy research workflows, querying exoplanet observations, or pulling telescope metadata without writing MAST API calls by hand.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

MAST MCP — Space Telescopes archive.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
cone_search | Search MAST around (RA, Dec). |
mission_search | Mission-scoped search with arbitrary criteria. |
caom | Generic CAOM (Common Archive Observation Model) query. |
lookup_name | Resolve target name → coords. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mast-nasa": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mast-nasa/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Mast Nasa data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
