# SkyWatch

> Search satellite imagery, compare pricing, and explore Earth observation data for your location and time range

SkyWatch's MCP server gives your agent direct access to the EarthCache imagery marketplace: search for available scenes, compare prices across providers, price a tasking order, and browse the full satellite catalog. No account required to start.

## What the agent can do

## Example agent tasks

```text theme={null}
Find high-resolution satellite imagery of the Port of Rotterdam from the last 90 days and show me pricing.

## What you share

This connection requires no sign-in or API key to browse the catalog and retrieve pricing. The agent has read access to publicly available imagery metadata, satellite specs, and product pricing. No personal information is shared unless you place an order through the SkyWatch platform directly.
