Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings MCP Server

Search 419K+ space regulatory filings from FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, FAA-AST: entities, spectrum, alerts. The orbit sentinel — space regulatory filings mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 3 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Orbit Sentinel — 950K+ space regulatory filings from FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, and FAA-AST, queryable from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Variable — Purpose
• MCP_API_URL — Orbit Sentinel API base URL (https://orbit-sentinel.viventine.com)
• MCP_API_KEY — Your API key from the console

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: MCP_API_URL, MCP_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Caveats

• Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the orbit sentinel — space regulatory filings mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Orbit Sentinel — Space Regulatory Filings's toolset — Variable, MCP_API_URL, MCP_API_KEY — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Viventine-Space; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
