Cassini Mission Plan MCP
A read-only MCP server over the Cassini-Huygens mission dataset exposing tools for querying activity data such as listing, searching, counting, aggregating, and timeline analysis.
README
Cassini Mission Plan MCP
A read-only Model Context Protocol server over the Cassini-Huygens mission dataset (~62k activity rows). Built as an AI workshop demo: clean, readable TypeScript that runs live in Claude Desktop.
Live endpoint: https://cassini-mission-plan.redfour.workers.dev
What it does
Exposes 7 MCP tools so an LLM client can query the Cassini master_plan table:
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
list_activities |
Filtered, paginated rows (date range, team, target) |
get_activity |
Single row by id |
search_activities |
FTS5 full-text search over title + description |
count_activities |
Row count matching the same filters as list |
aggregate_activities |
Group-by counts (team / target / spass_type) |
timeline |
Bucketed counts over a date range (year or month) — zero-filled |
list_distinct |
Distinct values of team / target / spass_type |
Architecture
- Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript)
- Data: Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) —
master_plantable + FTS5 virtual table - Transport: hand-rolled MCP-over-HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over plain HTTP POST)
- Validation: zod schemas per tool; errors surface as JSON-RPC error objects
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full design.
Project setup
npm install
Run tests
npm test # Jest — all specs against in-memory SQLite
The deploy spec (spec/deploy-and-initialize.spec.ts) needs a live URL:
DEPLOY_URL=https://cassini-mission-plan.redfour.workers.dev npm test
Deploy (one-time setup)
-
Create the D1 database:
npx wrangler d1 create cassiniCopy the
database_idintowrangler.toml. -
Import the data (generates
data/cassini.d1.sqlfromdata/cassini.db):node scripts/import.js # or: npx ts-node scripts/import.ts npx wrangler d1 execute cassini --remote --file=data/cassini.d1.sql -
Deploy:
npm run deploy
Local dev
npm run dev # wrangler dev (uses local D1)
