Summary
Connects Claude to the Open Notify API for real-time space data. Exposes two tools: iss_now for the International Space Station's current latitude and longitude, and astros for listing everyone currently in space along with their spacecraft (ISS, Tiangong, etc.). Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either connect to this specific server or access it through their broader MCP gateway alongside 250+ other data sources. Useful when you need live orbital tracking or want to query who's off-planet right now. The ask_pipeworx function lets you skip manual tool calls and just ask questions in natural language.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"open-notify": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/open-notify/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 Open Notify data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
