Tool Reference¶
Every MCP tool, grouped by class. Each page lists the tools in that class, their parameters, and a usage example.
The on-wire tool name is the C# method name (e.g. GetEphemerisAsStateVectors). Parameter names below match the JSON keys MCP clients see.
Bodies, frames, time¶
- Celestial bodies — ephemeris and geophysical properties
- Time — UTC/TDB/TAI/TDT/GPS conversions, Julian Date, ephemeris time
- Frames — rotation and state-rotation matrices between frames
- TLE — parse and SGP4-propagate Two-Line Element sets
Orbital mechanics¶
- Orbital parameters — Keplerian / equinoctial / state-vector conversions, anomaly conversions, period, mean motion, apsides, energy, angular momentum
- Maneuvers — closed-form delta-V for plane / apsides changes, phasing, Hohmann and bi-elliptic transfers
- Lambert solver — multi-revolution two-impulse transfer
Sites and ground stations¶
- Deep Space Network sites — DSS planetodetic coordinates, state vectors, horizontal coordinates, frame names
- Generic surface sites — arbitrary lat/lon/alt sites on any body
Geometry¶
- Observation geometry — angular separation, angular size, light time, range rate, sub-observer point, phase angle, illumination fraction
- Geometry finder — time windows where a coordinate / distance / angular-separation / phase-angle / elevation / occultation constraint is satisfied
Scenario simulation¶
- Scenario simulation — end-to-end mission propagation with maneuvers, perturbing bodies, drag, SRP, geopotential, and constraint evaluation
Utilities¶
- Unit conversions — angular and astronomical-distance conversions
