About TLE Satellite Tracker
A backend and API for current two-line element records describing Earth-orbiting objects. It serves JSON data refreshed daily from CelesTrak and supports searches by satellite name or retrieval by satellite number.
Key features
- 01Daily TLE data updates from CelesTrak
- 02JSON records for orbital elements
- 03Search by satellite name
- 04Retrieve a record by satellite number
Use cases
- 01Look up an object's latest orbital elements
- 02Find a satellite record by name
- 03Retrieve a TLE using its satellite number

Details
From the project READMETLE API
Code repository that powers TLE API backend, listed on NASA API catalog https://api.nasa.gov/
API provides up to date two line element set records, the data is updated daily from CelesTrak and served in JSON format. A two-line element set (TLE) is a data format encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time.

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.
