About io.github.cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-server
io.github.cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-server is an MCP server in the Science category: offline observational astronomy: positions, rise/set, moon phases, eclipses, and seasons.
Install
claude mcp add io-github-cyanheads-astronomy-mcp-server -- npx -y @cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-servernpx -y @cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-serverThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.
Tools (7)
astronomy_find_eventsForward search for the next occurrences of one sky-event class: eclipses, equinoxes, solstices, moon quarters, oppositions, conjunctions, greatest elongations, and apsides.
Parameters not published.
astronomy_get_ephemeris*(gated extension)* Time-series ephemeris for a small body (asteroid/comet) or spacecraft via JPL Horizons — covers what the in-process major-body set cannot. Off by default.
Parameters not published.
astronomy_get_moon_phaseMoon phase for an instant: illuminated fraction, phase name, synodic age, phase angle, and the next four quarter phases with timestamps.
Parameters not published.
astronomy_get_rise_setRise, set, and culmination times for a body at a location, with maximum altitude at transit. For the Sun, also the three twilight pairs (civil/nautical/astronomical).
Parameters not published.
astronomy_get_satellite_passes*(gated extension)* Visible passes of a satellite (by NORAD catalog number, or by a name resolved against the catalog) over an observer, from a CelesTrak GP element set propagated with SGP4 in-process. Off by default.
Parameters not published.
astronomy_get_sky_positionApparent position of one body or named star for an observer and instant — equatorial (RA/Dec), horizontal (alt/az), ecliptic, plus distance, magnitude, angular diameter, phase, and constellation.
Parameters not published.
astronomy_list_visibleThe one-call "what's up right now" answer: every naked-eye body (and optional bright stars) above the horizon, ranked, annotated, and gated by the Sun's altitude into daylight/twilight/dark.
Parameters not published.
