Nothing to run from here
GraceDB is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.

What it does
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational-wave alerts from GraceDB, plus public strain from GWOSC.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user gracedb-mcp '--' uvx gracedb-mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# search_superevents, get_event_metadata, download_event_files and 12 more
GraceDB costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.

Installation
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one runs on your machine: your client starts GraceDB as a process under your own user, with your files and your network, so the tool surface below is what it can do to your computer rather than to a server somewhere else. Its scan result is on the Security tab — read the surface before you approve it.
Claude Codedeclared by this listing
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. You need uv (docs.astral.sh/uv): uvx comes with it. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The '--' is in quotes so that PowerShell passes it on.
claude mcp add --scope user gracedb-mcp '--' uvx gracedb-mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Free on mcprush, and it runs from its publisher’s own package: this marketplace is not in the path, so there is no key of ours to hold and no card to add.
What it asks of you
Nothing is required, but it can take GRACEDB_FORCE_NOAUTH (Set to true for anonymous access to public superevents.), GRACEDB_SERVICE_URL (GraceDB API base URL (production or playground).), GRACEDB_MCP_DATA_DIR (Directory for downloaded files.) if you want to set them.
What it writes
One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.
What you approve
15 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
Read from its source code. A server that builds its tool list when it starts can list more tools than this.
Search recent GraceDB superevents.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| start | string | no | Inclusive lower bound on creation time (ISO-8601, e.g. `2023-05-01 or 2023-05-01T00:00:00`). Optional. |
| end | string | no | Inclusive upper bound on creation time (same format). Optional. |
| max_far | number | no | Maximum false-alarm rate in Hz. Lower = more significant. A common "confident detection" threshold is `3.2e-8` (~1 per year). Optional. |
| min_confidence | number | no | Minimum astrophysical probability in [0, 1], computed as `1 - P(Terrestrial)` from each event's p_astro file. Applied as a post-filter (requires one extra fetch per event). Optional. |
| category | string | no | GraceDB category, usually `Production, Test or MDC`. |
| max_results | integer | no | Maximum number of superevents to return. |
Fetch the full record and source classification for one superevent.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| graceid | string | yes | The superevent id, e.g. `S230518h`. |
Download GraceDB artifacts (skymaps, p_astro, PE results, logs) for an event.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| graceid | string | yes | The superevent id, e.g. `S230518h`. |
| filenames | array | no | Specific filenames to download. If omitted, downloads every file attached to the superevent. |
Download public strain time series around an event from GWOSC.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| graceid | string | yes | The superevent id, e.g. `S190814bv. When gps_time is given this is only used as the output folder name (e.g. GW150914`). |
| detectors | array | no | Detector prefixes to fetch, e.g. `["H1", "L1", "V1"]`. Defaults to H1 and L1. |
| duration | number | no | Length of the segment in seconds, centred on `t_0`. |
| sample_rate | integer | no | Target sample rate in Hz (4096 or 16384 typically). |
| gps_time | number | no | Centre time in GPS seconds. Skips the GraceDB lookup, which is needed for O1 events such as GW150914 (`1126259462.4`) that predate GraceDB superevents. |
Convert an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp to GPS seconds (handy for building queries).
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| iso_timestamp | string | yes | e.g. `2015-09-14T09:50:45` (UTC assumed if no tz given). |
Search published gravitational-wave events in the GWOSC catalogues.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| catalog | string | no | Restrict to one catalogue, e.g. `GWTC-1-confident, GWTC-2.1-confident, GWTC-3-confident, GWTC-4.0`. Omit for all. |
| gps_start | number | no | Earliest event GPS time. Optional. |
| gps_end | number | no | Latest event GPS time. Optional. |
| min_snr | number | no | Minimum network matched-filter SNR (louder signals are clearer). |

| max_total_mass | number | no | Maximum total source-frame mass in solar masses. |
| max_distance_mpc | number | no | Maximum luminosity distance in megaparsecs. |
| max_results | integer | no | Maximum number of events to return (newest first). |
Source parameters for one published event, with 90% credible intervals.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | A catalogue name such as `GW150914 or GW200129_065458, or a GraceDB superevent id such as S190814bv` (matched by GPS time). |
GraceDB labels on a superevent, in the order they were applied, with meanings.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| graceid | string | yes | The superevent id, e.g. `S190814bv`. |
Check which detectors have public GWOSC strain data for a time span.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| gps_start | number | no | Start of the span in GPS seconds. Use together with `gps_end`. |
| gps_end | number | no | End of the span in GPS seconds, at most 7 days after `gps_start`. |
| event | string | no | Instead of a span, a GraceDB superevent id (`S190814bv) or a catalogue name (GW150914); checks window` seconds centred on it. |
| window | number | no | Span in seconds around `event`. |
| detectors | array | no | Detectors to check. Defaults to H1, L1, V1 and K1. |

ATrust score 100 / 100
Release 0.4.0 · scanned 2 Nov 2026
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.

score = clamp(round(threatScore − E_cap − E_ver − E_cov), 0, 100). No model, no opinion, no network call at scoring time: the same methodology version against the same bytes always produces this number, and every line above is a field of the report rather than a summary of it.
What the scan could actually read
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.

Live transportnot available
Tools were statically extracted from the published source (15 recovered), not enumerated from a running server. Tool-poisoning, Unicode-smuggling, capability and toxic-flow analysis ran on this inferred surface, but a mis-parsed registration could be missed or mis-attributed, so tool-derived findings are capped below “confirmed”. To grade the real runtime surface, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. minimal is the level these add up to.

Toxic-flow graph
The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.

This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.

Who can review
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Sign in to write one
Any signed-in account that does not publish GraceDB can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
No reviews yet
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
