NASA CMR MCP
The NASA CMR MCP server allows AI agents to search NASA's Common Metadata Repository for Earth-science dataset collections and granules. It provides tools to search collections by keyword, platform, instrument, or time range; retrieve full metadata for a specific collection by its CMR concept ID; and list individual data files (granules) with timestamps, file size, and direct download URLs, filtering by time range or bounding box.
Package and access
Local package with source-attributed installation metadata. Koskamo does not execute packages during review.
What you can do with it
- Search NASA's Common Metadata Repository for Earth-science dataset collections by keyword or platform
- Get full metadata for one NASA Earth-science collection by its CMR concept ID
- List individual data files (granules) of a NASA collection with timestamps and download URLs
Source and maintenance
