Free Business Plan Upgrades for Open Source Maintainers
Open source maintainers are under more pressure than ever. We're raising our open source program from the Team plan to the Business plan, free.
@starfetch-js/mcp
Advanced tools
Model Context Protocol stdio server for Starfetch TAP tools.
npx -y @starfetch-js/mcp
Example MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"starfetch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@starfetch-js/mcp"]
}
}
}
The server exposes TAP presets, registry search, metadata inspection, bounded
sync queries, and explicit async job tools. It also exposes the
query_astronomy_catalog, explore_service, run_cone_search, and
troubleshoot_adql prompts plus canonical Markdown resources under the
starfetch:// scheme. These guidance surfaces are packaged with the server;
users do not need to install the optional filesystem skill.
Tool descriptions independently require explicit service selection, metadata-first ADQL, bounded requests, and failure-aware reporting. The server does not accept credentials, execute shell commands, or write local files.
