STAC MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server that provides access to STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) APIs for geospatial data discovery and access. Supports dual output modes (text and structured json) for all tools.

The coverage badge is updated automatically on pushes to main by the CI workflow.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants and applications to interact with STAC catalogs to:

• Search and browse STAC collections
• Find geospatial datasets (satellite imagery, weather data, etc.)
• Access metadata and asset information
• Perform spatial and temporal queries

Features

Available Tools

All tools accept an optional output_format parameter ("text" default, or "json"). JSON mode returns a single MCP TextContent whose text field is a compact JSON envelope: { "mode": "json", "data": { ... } } (or { "mode": "text_fallback", "content": ["..."] } if a handler lacks a JSON branch). This preserves backward compatibility while enabling structured consumption (see ADR 0006 and ASR 1003).
