Built for builders.
Designed for impact.

We handle the complexity of sourcing, normalizing, and delivering planetary data so your team can focus entirely on what you build with it.

01

Global Coverage

Most endpoints answer for any latitude and longitude on Earth, and every vertical states exactly where its data applies. No guessing about coverage.

02

Authoritative Sources

We ingest exclusively from government agencies, research networks, and certified sensor grids. No synthetic data without clear labelling.

03

One API, Every Vertical

One key, one dashboard, one consistent schema across every domain. Less time on plumbing, more time on product.

04

Built for MCP

A live MCP server across every active vertical, letting AI assistants call environmental and space weather data inside conversations and agent workflows.

The Pxie MCP server:
your AI's data layer.

Built on  Model Context Protocol  by Anthropic

The Pxie MCP server lets compatible AI assistants call live environmental and space weather data in real time, mid-conversation, without custom integration work for each assistant.

This opens an entirely new channel for your data. Not just developers building apps — AI assistants themselves become your consumers, pulling Pxie signals into answers, reports, and autonomous agent workflows.

"Will we see the northern lights in Tromsø tonight?"
Aurora probability 64% after dark. Skies mostly clear and the moon sets early. Best window 21:00 to 23:00 local.
"Should we delay the satellite launch window?"
Kp index currently 6.3. G2 storm active. Recommend 18-hour delay. Forecast drops to 2.1 by 0600 UTC.
"Is our Edmonton substation at risk from tonight's storm?"
Storm risk elevated (31 of 100), Watch level, rising over the next hour. First step: notify operating staff and review storm procedures.
get_aurora_probability
Aurora visibility probability for any location. Optionally adds the real chance of seeing it, accounting for moonlight, light pollution and cloud cover.
Live · Builder+
get_grid_assessment
Power grid storm risk at any point: risk score, alert level, a 60-minute outlook and a plain-language checklist of suggested operator actions.
Live · Builder+
get_sky_conditions
Hour-by-hour observing forecast for any location: cloud cover, atmospheric transparency and seeing.

get_sea_surface_temperature
Daily sea surface temperature for any point in the world's oceans, with the difference from normal and sea-ice cover.

A space weather API,
and much more.

Every Pxie API follows the same conventions. Versioned endpoints, predictable error codes, and a single authentication model across all verticals and MCP tools.

Pay for what you use.
Scale without limits.

Every plan includes a monthly credit allocation. Need more? Add a top-up any time. MCP access is included on all paid plans.

Credit cost varies by endpoint (most calls cost 1 to 10 credits) and is the same over REST or MCP. Plan credits are added each billing cycle and stay usable for 90 days; top-up credits expire 90 days after purchase.

Environmental data API questions.

What is an environmental data API?

An API that delivers environmental measurements and forecasts as clean data. Pxie covers space weather, aurora, power grid storm risk, ocean, soil, sky quality and astronomy.

Is there a free space weather API?

Yes. The free Pxie plan includes the current geomagnetic storm level, solar flares, light pollution and moon, sun and darkness data.

What is the Pxie MCP server?

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants call Pxie data as tools. It is included from the Builder plan.

Let's talk data.

Whether you are evaluating Pxie for your platform, exploring a partnership, or just curious about a vertical, we want to hear from you.
