N2yo tools 3

  • get_positionsTrack where a satellite is right now (or in the next few seconds): get its live latitude, longitude, altitude, and look-angles (azimuth/elevation) from an observer on Earth. Use this to answer "where is the ISS right now?" (NORAD id 25544) or to locate any satellite by NORAD id. Example: get_positions({ norad_id: 25544, lat: 40.71, lon: -74.0 }).
  • get_visual_passesFind when a satellite will be visible to the naked eye overhead from an observer location (visual passes = bright, sunlit passes against a dark sky). Returns start/max/end times, elevation, azimuths, brightness magnitude, and duration. Use this for "when can I see the ISS pass over?" Example: get_visual_passes({ norad_id: 25544, lat: 40.71, lon: -74.0 }).
  • whats_aboveList what satellites are currently above a location on Earth, within a given radius of the observer's zenith. Use this to answer "what satellites are overhead right now?" Optionally filter by category (e.g. 52 = Starlink, 18 = amateur radio, 1 = brightest). Example: whats_above({ lat: 40.71, lon: -74.0 }).

Frequently asked questions

Atlassian MCP Server is categorized under Version Control and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. N2yo belongs to Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Atlassian MCP Server for version control work and N2yo for aerospace & astrodynamics.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

Atlassian MCP Server is listed as free. Auth: other. N2yo has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add atlassian-mcp-server and n2yo as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
