Can I use NASA as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a NASA CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose NASA through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected NASA tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are NASA credentials stored?

NASA credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for NASA MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Credentials can be configured manually in web or CLI hosts.

Use this integration from Lua code mode, the headless integrations CLI, or the KosmoKrator MCP gateway. The same package metadata powers all three surfaces.

Function Catalog

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`nasa.nasa_get_apod`	Read `read`	3	Get the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). Returns the daily astronomical image or photo along with an explanation written by a professional astronomer. You can request a specific date or a range of dates.
`nasa.nasa_get_asteroid`	Read `read`	1	Get detailed information about a specific Near Earth Object (asteroid) by its NASA ID. Returns orbital data, estimated diameter, close approach history, and hazard assessment.
`nasa.nasa_get_asteroids`	Read `read`	2	Get Near Earth Objects (asteroids) for a date range from NASA. Returns a list of asteroids with their estimated diameter, velocity, distance from Earth, and whether they are potentially hazardous.
`nasa.nasa_get_current_user`	Read `read`	0	Get information about the current NASA API configuration. The NASA API is public and does not require user authentication — this tool returns the API key status and available endpoints.
`nasa.nasa_get_mars_rover_photos`	Read `read`	5	Get photos from NASA Mars rovers (Curiosity, Opportunity, Spirit, Perseverance). Query by sol (Martian day) or Earth date, and optionally filter by camera. Returns photo URLs and metadata.
`nasa.nasa_search_images`	Read `read`	3	Search the NASA Image and Video Library for space, astronomy, and mission imagery. Returns image URLs, titles, descriptions, and metadata from NASA's vast collection.
