What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: real-time satellite position by NORAD ID · TLE (two-line element) data by NORAD ID · visual pass predictions over a location · radio pass predictions over a location · satellites currently above a location · satellite search by name or category
Coverage llm-inferred: Any observer location supplied as lat/lng
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio
Access docs-verified: API key required (N2YO API, set via env N2YO_API_KEY); N2YO free tier allows 1,000 requests per hour; local install (clone, npm install, npm run build). Licence: ISC per DOCS, MIT per ENTRY metadata (conflict)

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Predicting satellite passes over a project site to plan remote-sensing image acquisition windows · Checking which satellites are above a site for radio or GNSS link feasibility notes · Pulling TLE and orbital metadata to document satellite data sources in a study
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · remote sensing specialists · geospatial data engineers

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: Requires an N2YO API key · N2YO free tier limited to 1,000 requests per hour · Rate limiting may require waiting before further requests · Some satellites, especially older or inactive ones, may lack real-time tracking data · Requires Node.js 18+ and a local build · Licence stated differently in DOCS (ISC) and ENTRY metadata (MIT)
