Offline observational astronomy: positions, rise/set, moon phases, eclipses, and seasons.
The current version, v0.2.7, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-18. It is distributed as @cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-server on npm and as a hosted remote over streamable-http, filed under Other by this index, and declares 8 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).
Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less
uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-18). #
Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.cyanheads/astronomy-mcp-server’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

MCP_LOG_LEVEL
Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_HORIZONS
Register the astronomy_get_ephemeris tool, which fetches small-body and spacecraft ephemerides from JPL Horizons. Off by default; the core is keyless and offline.
ASTRONOMY_ENABLE_SATELLITES
Register the astronomy_get_satellite_passes tool, which predicts visible satellite passes from CelesTrak GP element sets propagated with SGP4. Off by default.
ASTRONOMY_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE
Fallback IANA timezone for observer-local output when a tool call omits timezone. Unset means UTC-only output.
MCP_HTTP_HOST
The hostname for the HTTP server.
MCP_HTTP_PORT
The port to run the HTTP server on.
MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH
The endpoint path for the MCP server.
MCP_AUTH_MODE
Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.
