Nasa integration for Claude and Codex

Create a Nasa connection, then control which Spaces can use its approved tools and data without pasting credentials into prompts or threads.

Use Nasa from Claude

Add the Nasa connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use it from every channel in that Space.

Use Nasa from Codex

Add the Nasa connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use it from every channel in that Space.

Use Nasa from Sidekick

Connect your own OpenClaw to Sidekick while Type provides the conversations, permissions, connections, skills, and automations.

Developer Tools & IT

What the Nasa connector can do

NASA offers a suite of APIs providing access to a wide range of data, including Earth science, planetary imagery, and technology transfer information.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Nasa once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Browse Near Earth Objects

    Browse the complete NASA near-Earth object (asteroid) dataset with pagination support. Returns comprehensive asteroid data including orbital parameters, estimated diameters, close approach events, and hazard classifications. Use this when you need to explore the entire NEO catalog or retrieve multiple asteroids across pages.

  • Create Graph Request

    Tool to create orbital and position graphs for NASA satellites using the Satellite Situation Center (SSC) web service. Use when you need to visualize satellite trajectories, orbits, or positions over a specific time period in various coordinate systems. The service generates graph files accessible via URLs in the response.

  • Delete CMR Association

    Tool to delete an existing association between concepts in NASA's Common Metadata Repository. Use when you need to remove relationships between collections, services, tools, or other CMR resources. Requires appropriate permissions to delete associations.

  • Delete CMR ACL

    Tool to delete an Access Control List (ACL) from NASA's Common Metadata Repository. Use when you need to remove access controls for a specific CMR resource. Requires appropriate permissions to delete ACLs.

  • Download Citation Document

    Downloads a document file from a NASA NTRS (NASA Technical Reports Server) citation. Use this when you need to retrieve PDF or other document files associated with a specific citation ID. Supports partial content downloads via byte range specification.

Connection

API and auth details

NASA Open APIs provide access to public NASA data, imagery, metadata, Earth science feeds, EPIC imagery, EONET events, image and video library search, and other agency datasets. Integrations can use DEMO_KEY for exploration or registered API keys for higher-volume usage.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Nasa

Can Claude use Nasa?

Yes. Add a Nasa connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Nasa through Type?

Yes. Add a Nasa connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Nasa MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
