TLE Satellite Tracker

ivanstan/tle-api

This server connects Claude to a NASA-cataloged TLE API that tracks orbital elements for Earth-orbiting satellites, updated daily from CelesTrak. You get two core operations: search satellites by name and retrieve individual TLE records by satellite number. Reach for this when you're building orbital mechanics calculations, tracking specific satellites like ISS or Starlink constellations, or need programmatic access to two-line element sets without manual data collection. The underlying API has been stable enough to warrant third-party client libraries in JavaScript, PHP, and C#, and the data format is standard for orbital propagation models.

Install

From registry metadata

$ npx add-mcp https://tle.ivanstanojevic.me/mcp --name tle-satellite --transport sse

Run in your terminal. add-mcp asks which agents to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and more). Add -g to install it for every project.

Review the command, arguments and environment values before installing. MCP servers run with your local permissions.

Other ways

Claude Code

$ claude mcp add --transport sse tle-satellite https://tle.ivanstanojevic.me/mcp

Run in your terminal. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Readme

TLE API

coverage status status status

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.

Usage
