Summary
A straightforward way to add live science data to your AI workflows. Exposes four NASA and USGS endpoints: ISS position tracking with coordinates and velocity, recent earthquake search by location and magnitude, air quality checks that return AQI and pollutant levels for major cities, and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day with images and explanations. Runs as a hosted service through Pipeworx's gateway, so no local setup or API keys needed. Useful when you're building agents that need real-time space or environmental data without managing multiple API integrations yourself.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Science MCP — free science data APIs
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_iss_location | Get the current position of the International Space Station. Returns latitude, longitude, altitude, and velocity. |
get_earthquakes | Search recent earthquakes by location and magnitude threshold. Returns magnitude, depth, coordinates, and timestamp for each event. |
get_air_quality | Check air quality at a location (e.g., 'New York', 'London'). Returns AQI score, PM2.5, PM10, ozone, and NO2 levels. |
get_apod | Get NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day with image URL, title, and explanation. Optionally specify a date (e.g., '2024-01-15'). |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"science": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/science/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 Science data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
