About launches
launches is an MCP server in the Science category: launches MCP — wraps Launch Library 2 API (ll.thespacedevs.com, free, no auth).
Install
git clone https://github.com/pipeworx-io/mcp-launchesThis 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 (4)
get_launchGet full details for a specific launch by ID. Returns name, time, status, pad, rocket, mission, orbit info, video links, and mission patches.
Parameters not published.
get_past_launchesFetch rocket launches that have already flown, sorted newest-first, from Launch Library 2. `launches` holds only those with a confirmed outcome — successful, failed or partial failure — so counting them answers "how many launches happened". A launch whose scheduled time has passed but whose outcome upstream has not yet confirmed is reported separately in `unconfirmed` with its current status, rather than being counted as flown. Use `since` and `until` to bound a window (ISO dates). Returns launch name, time, status, pad, rocket type, and mission description. Default 10 results.
Parameters not published.
get_upcoming_launchesFetch the next scheduled rocket launches from Launch Library 2. Returns launch name, NET (no-earlier-than) time, status, launch pad, rocket type, and mission description. Default 10 results.
Parameters not published.
search_launchesSearch launches by keyword (rocket name, mission, agency). Returns matching launches with name, time, status, pad, rocket, and mission.
Parameters not published.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"launches": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/launches/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Launches data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
