@interstellar Tools MCP Overview

@interstellar-tools/mcp exposes the interstellar-tools orbital mechanics equations and celestial body datasets through the Model Context Protocol. AI assistants can call calculation tools instead of estimating values, with units included in field names. Install it as an npm package and run it through npx for orbital mechanics learning, prototyping, simulation support, or mission-tool development. It belongs in the Aerospace & Astrodynamics category, but is not intended for flight-certified or safety-critical work.

Primary Use Cases for @interstellar Tools MCP:
  • Calculate orbital speeds and energies during an AI-assisted analysis
  • Build educational orbital mechanics examples with an MCP client
  • Prototype simulator or mission-dashboard calculations
  • Query celestial body data from an AI coding workflow
