note: >-
  NASA publishes no MCP server. Searched api.nasa.gov, the nasa GitHub organization, npm and the
  MCP registries; the only NASA-flavoured servers on npm are third-party (mcp-ts-stdio-nasa 0.2.0,
  published 2025-08-10 by jezweb; @pipeworx/mcp-nasa-power, @pipeworx/mcp-gistemp,
  @pipeworx/mcp-meteors by mojibake-ai) and none is affiliated with NASA. The tool list below is a
  CANDIDATE derived from the OpenAPI operations captured in this repo. Nobody ships it. No endpoint
  is asserted, because inventing one that happened to answer would read as a verified agent surface.
deployment:
  mode: none
  endpoint: null
  install: null
  package: null
  auth: api-key
  verified: derived
  note: >-
    auth is recorded as api-key because that is what any server fronting this API would have to
    carry (an api_key query parameter, DEMO_KEY usable for exploration), not because a server exists.

  note: >-
    Every operation on this surface is a GET over public data, which makes it an unusually safe API
    to hand an agent — there is no write to guard, no idempotency to arrange and nothing to reverse.
    What is missing is not safety but reach: without a server, an agent cannot call any of it
    without bespoke integration code.
