Orbit mcp mcp server connects Orbit MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for satellite orbital mechanics calculations with natural language processing capabilities.

What Orbit MCP does

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for satellite orbital mechanics calculations with natural language processing capabilities.

Installing the orbit mcp mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Orbit MCP sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by BuildASpacePro, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the orbit mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

How to install the Orbit MCP MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "satellite-mcp-server": {
      "command": "docker",

    }
  }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
