What the publisher says
From the bhoonidhi-mcp repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
bhoonidhi-mcp
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.geovicco-dev/bhoonidhi-mcp -->
An MCP server that lets an AI agent search, save, download, and cart satellite scenes from ISRO's Bhoonidhi Browse & Order portal (NRSC) in natural language. An agent can turn a sentence like "Sentinel-2 over Shillong last January" into a real search against the live portal, see honestly what is available to download, save a search to reuse later, preview what a download would fetch, and — once logged in — download open-access scenes or stage them to the cart.
It is a thin adapter over the bhoonidhi-downloader SDK — the same client the bhd CLI uses — so no portal logic is duplicated.
Status
Search and save with no login; download and cart with one. The tools reach the full archive of 41 satellite missions and 79 sensors, search the live portal, and save searches to reusable slugs — all without credentials. Downloading open-access scenes and staging scenes to the Bhoonidhi cart need a login, done out of band with bhd auth login (the server reuses that session).
Tools
Availability matters: an OpenData scene is not necessarily staged for download. searchscenes and previewdownload distinguish Ready (fetch it now) from Archived (open data, but may need a request on the portal first), so an agent does not over-promise.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
