Launch Library
Connects Claude to Launch Library 2's global rocket launch database. You get seven tools covering upcoming and historical launches, agency directories, astronaut rosters, space events like dockings and spacewalks, and crewed expeditions to the ISS or Tiangong. Delivered through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either call tools directly or use ask_pipeworx to query in natural language and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Useful when you're building spaceflight tracking features, need live countdown data, or want to pull mission details without scraping individual launch provider sites.
