About cosmik
cosmik is a remote MCP server that provides live space information to AI agents, including launch schedules, visible ISS passes, and launch news. It uses continuously refreshed orbital data and requires no API key.
Key features
- 01Worldwide upcoming rocket launches
- 02Visible ISS passes by city or coordinates
- 03Launch news in seven languages
- 04Continuously refreshed orbital data
- 05No API key required
Use cases
- 01Check the next rocket launch
- 02Find an ISS pass visible from a location
MCP support
It exposes launch, ISS-pass, and news tools to MCP clients over streamable HTTP at https://gocosmik.com/api/mcp. The endpoint requires no authentication.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Ask things like "When can I see the ISS from Paris tonight?" or "What's the next SpaceX launch?" — answers come from live orbital data, not training data.
About
Cosmik tracks the ISS, Starlink and 20,000+ satellites in real-time 3D in any browser — free, no login. This server exposes the same live data (CelesTrak orbital elements, Launch Library 2) to AI agents. No API key, fair use; data refreshes continuously.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
