N2yo vs Atlassian MCP Server
A side-by-side look at the N2yo and Atlassian MCP Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose N2yo for aerospace & astrodynamics work as a local process; choose Atlassian MCP Server for version control over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose N2yo when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Aerospace & Astrodynamics domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
get_positions, get_visual_passes, whats_above.
Choose Atlassian MCP Server when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Version Control domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- Its auth model fits you: other.

Tools & capabilities
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
N2yo is categorized under Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Atlassian MCP Server belongs to Version Control and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Pick N2yo for aerospace & astrodynamics work and Atlassian MCP Server for version control.
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.
N2yo has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Atlassian MCP Server is listed as free. Auth: other. 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 n2yo and atlassian-mcp-server as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
