Wraps the Spaceflight News API v4 to pull space industry news, articles, and updates into Claude. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which offers a plain English query interface through ask_pipeworx instead of making you call tools directly. Free to use, no authentication required. If you need space news for research, briefings, or keeping an AI assistant current on launches and missions, this gives you a structured feed without setting up API keys. You can use the standalone spacenews endpoint or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to 250+ other data sources alongside it.

| Tool | Description |

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"spacenews": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/spacenews/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Spacenews data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
