About HelioSPICE
HelioSPICE (xhelio-spice) is a Python library and MCP server that automates spacecraft ephemeris computations for heliophysics missions. It wraps the SpiceyPy library with features like automatic SPICE kernel download, caching, and loading, enabling users to request spacecraft positions, trajectory timeseries, and coordinate transforms using straightforward Python code. Designed for scientists, engineers, and developers working with solar system mission data, HelioSPICE supports major heliophysics missions and integrates with LLM tools via MCP server mode for automation in environments like Claude Desktop.
