Space Radiation API MCP Server

The Space Radiation API provides programmatic access to critical data characterizing the ionizing radiation environment in space, a primary challenge for human spaceflight and the reliability of satellite systems.

Quick Start Summary

The Space Radiation API MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the Space Radiation API API through natural language. It exposes 3 API endpoints as callable tools, such as Calculate particle flux , Calculate mean particle flux , Calculate percentile particle flux . No authentication is required — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server uses STDIO transport and can be installed by running npx -y @mcp/amentum-space-space-radiation. This integration is sourced from the auto Space Radiation API OpenAPI specification (v1.1.2) and has a quality score of 28/99 (fair documentation coverage).

⚡Capabilities & Use Cases
The Space Radiation API provides programmatic access to critical data characterizing the ionizing radiation environment in space, a primary challenge for human spaceflight and the reliability of satellite systems. This API serves as a definitive source for high-fidelity radiation flux models, offering endpoints to retrieve data for key radiation components that pose the greatest risk: Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) originating from supernovae and other high-energy galactic events, and trapped radiation from Earth's Van Allen belts. By abstracting complex astrophysical models into simple RESTful calls, it enables engineers, mission planners, and researchers to move beyond static tables and incorporate dynamic, current, or historical space weather conditions directly into their analytical workflows. Its primary use cases span the aerospace industry, including spacecraft shielding optimization, electronic component (COTS) reliability analysis, astronaut dosimetry and health risk modeling, and mission architecture design for programs from low-Earth orbit constellations to deep space exploration.
🤖AI Agent Value
When exposed as tools via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the Space Radiation API becomes a powerful sensory input for AI coding assistants, dramatically expanding their ability to generate context-aware and physically accurate technical solutions. Instead of relying solely on static knowledge, an AI like Claude Desktop or Cursor can perform real-time queries to ground its code generation, documentation, or system design in the actual or predicted radiation environment. For instance, the AI could directly ingest GCR flux spectra to accurately calculate single-event upset (SEU) rates for a specific satellite processor's memory, or use trapped proton and electron flux data to script an automated analysis of component dose depth curves. This transforms the AI from a generic code generator into a specialized systems engineering partner capable of producing radiation-hardening strategies, test plans, and simulation parameters that are directly tied to environmental data, significantly accelerating the "analysis-to-code" cycle.
💬Example Workflows
A developer can instruct the AI agent to execute dynamic, multi-step tasks that integrate this environmental data directly into development and analysis pipelines. For example, a command such as "Query the mean trapped proton flux for a 400 km orbit at a 51.6-degree inclination and generate a Python script using the SPENVIS model to calculate the total ionizing dose for a standard commercial DRAM component over a 10-year mission" would trigger the AI to call the appropriate GET /trapped/flux_mean endpoint, process the JSON response, and then write a coherent script that imports the data into its calculations. Similarly, an instruction to "Create a comparison report of the GCR environment between solar minimum and solar maximum using the /gcr/flux_dlr endpoint, focusing on neutron flux and its impact on avionics error rates" would lead the AI to execute multiple calls with different parameters, synthesize the results, and produce a technical document outlining the differing risks and mitigation strategies for each period.
🛡️Security & Auth
While the API currently requires no authentication for access, a critical best practice is to treat it as a public but potentially rate-sensitive resource. Developers setting up the MCP server should implement robust API key management even if not yet required, storing credentials securely outside of version control and rotating them periodically. When integrating with AI assistants, applying the principle of least privilege is paramount; the AI's access should be scoped to only the specific API endpoints necessary for the task at hand. Configuration should include defining clear rate limits within the MCP server to prevent runaway API calls from degrading service, and implementing thorough input validation to sanitize any user queries passed to the API, ensuring they map correctly to valid query parameters and timeframes to maintain data integrity and system stability.

Box Platform API

The Box Platform API, provided by Box (box.com), is a robust and comprehensive RESTful service that enables deep integration with the Box cloud content management ecosystem. It serves as the programmatic backbone for enterprises and developers seeking to build custom applications and workflows that interact with content stored securely in Box. Its core capabilities extend far beyond basic file operations, encompassing a full spectrum of content lifecycle management. Developers can programmatically create, upload, download, search, and manage files and folders, but the API's true power lies in its enterprise-grade features. These include advanced collaboration management through invitations and permissions, granular user and group administration within an enterprise directory, and sophisticated security and compliance controls. Specific endpoint groups for managing collaboration whitelists and exempt targets allow for precise governance over external sharing policies, ensuring that content is only shared with approved domains. Furthermore, the API facilitates complex legal and compliance use cases, such as placing items on legal hold or applying retention policies, making it an indispensable tool for regulated industries and large organizations.

Asana

This API serves as the programmatic backbone for the Asana work management platform, provided by Asana, Inc. It enables developers to interact programmatically with one of the world's leading enterprise collaboration and productivity suites. The core capabilities of this interface center around the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for fundamental Asana objects. Specifically, the provided endpoints grant control over project attachments—allowing for the uploading, retrieval, and management of files associated with tasks and projects—and custom fields, which are pivotal for creating structured, data-rich workflows. These custom fields allow organizations to define unique data types (like dropdown menus, text fields, or dates) to standardize information capture across projects, moving beyond basic task lists to true operational tracking. Typical use cases span from enterprise project management offices (PMOs) needing to programmatically generate status reports and audit attachments, to development teams automating the creation of bug-tracking projects with predefined custom fields for severity and status, to operational leaders building dashboards that aggregate and analyze custom field data for resource allocation insights.
