notes: NASA does not operate an official hosted/remote MCP server. Several community MCP servers wrap
  the api.nasa.gov Open APIs (listed under community_servers). The tools[] below are a candidate surface
  derived one-per-operation from the captured OpenAPI, for building an MCP server over the NASA catalog.
