SkyWatch
Archive satellite imagery search across multiple providers
Overview
What SkyWatch does
SkyWatch Space Applications searches archive satellite imagery from several commercial providers in one place, Planet, Airbus, and Vantor among them. Filters cover the location of interest, the date, image resolution, and how much cloud cover is acceptable.
Pricing can be compared between providers for the same request, which matters when an area has been captured by more than one constellation. Available satellites and product offerings can also be browsed.
Results are not delivered as imagery inside the chat. Each one carries a link into SkyWatch Explore, where the image can be viewed and an order placed.
What stands out
Price comparison across providers happens within the search rather than as a separate step.

Where SkyWatch is listed
SkyWatch Space Applications Inc. ships this on both marketplaces: SkyWatch is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
SkyWatch publishes 4 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 17.2% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 8 tools below its bucket's median, 163rd of 198.
It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 4 tools, matching the 4 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.
Tools the server actually returns
search_archive_imagerycalculate_pricingget_satellitesget_offerings
SkyWatch publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

SkyWatch is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
