Open Notify MCP — ISS position + people in space

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`iss_now`	Current latitude / longitude of the International Space Station.
`astros`	People currently in space — name + craft (ISS / Tiangong / etc.).

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-notify": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/open-notify/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Open Notify data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
