NASA JPL Horizons — solar-system body ephemerides

Server endpointStreamable HTTP

This is the third-party server itself — Odel doesn't run it. Hitting this URL directly talks straight to the upstream server with no auth or proxying. Connect through Odel to front it with managed auth.

mcp-horizons-nasa

JPL Horizons MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
lookupResolve an object name → SPK id.
ephemerisGenerate an ephemeris (default observer table).
observersConvenience: ephemeris with table_type=OBSERVER.
vectorsConvenience: ephemeris with table_type=VECTORS.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "horizons-nasa": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/horizons-nasa/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Horizons Nasa data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
