CLIMATE DATA API · EARTH OBSERVATIONS
One HTTP surface for live environmental data — air quality, water, and federated sensor meshes from public sources. Integrate like any REST API, or add the MCP layer so agents in Cursor, Claude Code, and other hosts call the same catalog, search, readings, and sensor metadata with your Planetary API key.

One install adds an MCP server to Cursor, Claude Code, and other hosts. Your assistant talks to the same environmental mesh as our HTTP API—you type questions; it calls tools with your Planetary API key.
interstitial-systems/skills on GitHub — install options and docs
1 · INSTALL
Run once in a terminal, then configure x-api-key in your host (your Planetary key).
npx skills add interstitial-systems/skills --skill planetary2 · EXAMPLE OUTPUT
Illustration only—your client may look different.
3 · FOUR TOOLS
After install, the host exposes these MCP tools. You ask in plain language; the model picks the right one.
describe_atlas
See what’s in the catalog
Summary of upstreams, sensor counts, parameters, and optional map bounds.
search_sensors
Find sensors by place
Search by bounding box, radius, or filters so you get IDs before fetching data.
get_readings
Read measurements
Latest value or a time range; supports downsampling on long windows.
describe_sensor
Inspect one sensor
Provider, location, and which variables a specific sensor reports.
You're on the free developer alpha now. Indie and Team show where paid plans are headed; numbers firm up closer to launch.
Public environmental sources, fair throughput, attribution — ship agents and integrations now.
Solo builders who need more history and no attribution line in shipped products.
Product teams that want priority queueing and custom adapters where we support them.
