get_upcoming_launches
Fetch 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.
get_past_launches
Fetch 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…
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Cosmik is categorized under Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Launches belongs to Aerospace & Astrodynamics using local stdio subprocess. Select Cosmik when you need capabilities focused on aerospace & astrodynamics and Launches when you require tools for aerospace & astrodynamics.
