This plugin requests these system permissions. Most are normal for its category.
Remote Plugin
No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.
Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:
{
"mcpServers": {
"io-github-pipeworx-io-simbad": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/simbad/mcp"
}
}

CDS SIMBAD — astronomical object database (~14M objects) via TAP/script
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
object | Resolve and fetch the basic record for an object identifier (e.g. "M31", "HD 209458"). |
script | Run a SIMBAD sim-script. See https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-fscript. |
tap | ADQL TAP query against the SIMBAD database (sync). Returns JSON by default. |
cone_search | Objects within a radius of (RA, Dec) decimal degrees. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"simbad": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/simbad/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Simbad data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
