Use cases
Real accounts of agents doing this kind of job, each linked to its source.
- Build a crop detector on Sentinel-2 satellite data with AI coding help
A developer listed among their AI-assisted projects a system that trains neural nets to recognise crops from Sentinel-2 imagery. Crop detection works fairly well; spotting mowing and ploughing is harder without labels.
- Have Claude Code build the backend for a home weather station
A user had Claude Code write the whole Go service that receives readings from their weather station, including SQL, handlers, deploy scripts, systemd units, tests and an API-key tool.
- Search, price and order satellite imagery from Claude or ChatGPT
SkyFi launched an MCP server so assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can search its archive, compare sources, task new captures and place orders in chat, paid at standard SkyFi prices.

Questions people ask
How many earth MCP servers are there?
This directory lists 51 earth entries: 23 MCP servers and 27 APIs, plus 1 with other access. We counted them on November 1 and 2, 2026.
What is the most popular earth MCP server?
By GitHub stars, mcp-caiyun-weather leads with 48 stars as of November 1, 2026. Stars show interest, not quality, so check when it was last updated.
Which earth servers are official?
33 come from the vendor or project they control: Carbon Intensity API, NOAA National Weather Service, NOAA Tides & Currents, USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, USGS Water Data and mcp-caiyun-weather.
Which ones work without an API key?
16 need no key, based on their docs: Carbon Intensity API, NOAA National Weather Service, NOAA Tides & Currents, USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, USGS Water Data and GBIF API.
Is it safe to let an agent control real devices?
Only give an agent the access you would give a person. Start with read-only tools, keep a person in the loop for anything that moves, prints, sends or spends, and read each project's README first.
