🌍 Jupyter Earth MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides a set of tools for 🗺️ Geospatial analysis in 📓 Jupyter notebooks.
The following demo uses the Earthdata MCP server to search for datasets and data granules on NASA Earthdata, this MCP server to download the data in Jupyter and the jupyter-mcp-server to run further analysis.

Start JupyterLab
Make sure you have the following installed. The collaboration package is needed as the modifications made on the notebook can be seen thanks to Jupyter Real Time Collaboration.
pip install jupyterlab==4.4.1 jupyter-collaboration==4.0.2 ipykernel
pip uninstall -y pycrdt datalayer_pycrdt
pip install datalayer_pycrdt==0.12.15
Then, start JupyterLab with the following command.
jupyter lab --port 8888 --IdentityProvider.token MY_TOKEN --ip 0.0.0.0
You can also run make jupyterlab.
> [!NOTE]
>
> The --ip is set to 0.0.0.0 to allow the MCP server running in a Docker container to access your local JupyterLab.
Use with Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop can be downloaded from this page for macOS and Windows.
For Linux, we had success using this UNOFFICIAL build script based on nix
