Launches vs Server Everything
A side-by-side look at the Launches and Server Everything MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Launches for aerospace & astrodynamics work as a local process; choose Server Everything for other tools and integrations as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Launches when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Aerospace & Astrodynamics domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
get_upcoming_launches, get_past_launches, get_launch.
Choose Server Everything when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Other Tools and Integrations domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: No auth required.
- You want tools like
echo, get-annotated-message, get-env.

Tools & capabilities
Launches tools 4
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.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…get_launchGet full details for a specific launch by ID. Returns name, time, status, pad, rocket, mission, orbit info, video links, and mission patches.search_launchesSearch launches by keyword (rocket name, mission, agency). Returns matching launches with name, time, status, pad, rocket, and mission.
Server Everything tools 16
echoEchoes back the input stringget-annotated-messageDemonstrates how annotations can be used to provide metadata about content.get-envReturns all environment variables, helpful for debugging MCP server configurationget-header-paramsReturns its region argument and the Mcp-Param-Region HTTP header it arrived in. Demonstrates x-mcp-header (a 2026-07-28 Streamable HTTP client mirrors the argument into the header) and JSON Schema 2020-12 input and output schemas.get-resource-linksReturns up to ten resource links that reference different types of resourcesget-resource-referenceReturns a resource reference that can be used by MCP clientsget-structured-contentReturns structured content along with an output schema for client data validationget-sumReturns the sum of two numbersget-tiny-imageReturns a tiny MCP logo image.gzip-file-as-resourceCompresses a single file using gzip compression. Depending upon the selected output type, returns either the compressed data as a gzipped resource or a resource link, allowing it to be downloaded in a subsequent request: during the current session for a 2025-era client, or for ten minutes at a minted URI on protocol version 2026-07-28.trigger-list-changedSends a notifications/<list>/list_changed for the tool, prompt or resource list. On protocol version 2026-07-28 it is delivered on each subscriptions/listen stream that asked for that list; a 2025-era client receives it unsolicited.trigger-log-messagesSends one log message at each logging level during the call. On protocol version 2026-07-28 only the messages at or above the level the request names in _meta (io.modelcontextprotocol/logLevel) are sent, and none if it names no level; a 2025-era client gets those at or above the level it set with logging/setLevel. Deprecated: logging is deprecated as of protocol version 2026-07-28.- +4 more on the listing page
