OrbitStudio / Claude connector

The OrbitStudio connector for Claude

A read-only connector that lets Claude look up the places OrbitStudio knows on the Moon, Mars and other worlds, suggest settings for a 3D-printed model of one, show pictures already published on this site, and give you a link that opens OrbitStudio at that place or at a star map. It needs no account and no authentication.

What it does

OrbitStudio turns real elevation data into 3D-printable jigsaw puzzles and ornaments of regions on the Moon, Mars and other worlds, and makes 3D-printable star map plates of the night sky over a place on Earth. The connector gives Claude access to the information behind that: the named places in the app's travel list, the app's default settings, the limits of each world's data, and the pictures on this site.

Every tool only reads. The connector does not generate, render or download models, does not need or create an account, and does not change anything on OrbitStudio. To make a model you open the link it gives you and continue in the app yourself.

The six tools

search_places Searches the named places OrbitStudio can open directly: craters, mountains, valleys, basins and spacecraft landing sites. Returns each match's world, coordinates, box size, a short description and a link that opens the generator at that place.
suggest_model Suggests settings for a puzzle or an ornament of a place (by name or by latitude and longitude): model type, shape, size, relief and base, from the app's own defaults and the limits of that world's elevation data. The link it returns opens the app at the place with those settings filled in; nothing is generated until you press Generate.
get_preview Returns pictures already published on orbitstudio3d.com for a world or a place: photos of printed models, renders made with the app and the world's map texture, each with a caption. Nothing is rendered on request.
list_worlds Lists the worlds OrbitStudio currently offers, with each world's size, number of known places, default relief, smallest selection and any limits of its data.
get_product_info Describes what OrbitStudio makes, its two tools (OrbitStudio Terrain and OrbitStudio Sky), which steps are free and which need a plan or a download credit, and the support address.
star_map_link Builds a link that opens OrbitStudio Sky with the sky over a place on Earth at a local date and time (1900 to 2100), with an optional label for the plate. It takes coordinates; it does not look up place names.

All six are marked read-only and non-destructive. Links to this site carry utm_source=claude so we can count visits that came through the connector.

How to add it in Claude

The quickest way is Claude's connector directory: open OrbitStudio in the directory while signed in to Claude, and connect it from there. There is nothing to fill in: the connector has no login. In a chat, switch it on from the tools menu, or just ask Claude about a place to print.

Or add it by its URL

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (in newer versions Customize → Connectors) and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name: OrbitStudio.
  3. URL, exactly as written, without a trailing slash:
    https://orbitstudio-api-597899603925.europe-west1.run.app/mcp
  4. Leave authentication empty: the connector has no login and no OAuth settings.
  5. Choose Add. Claude lists the six tools.

Connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free. No OrbitStudio account is needed.

Example prompts

  • "I want to 3D print the Apollo 11 landing site as a gift. What settings should I use in OrbitStudio?"
  • "Which volcanoes on Mars can I make into a 3D-printed puzzle?"
  • "Show me what an OrbitStudio model of Maxwell Montes on Venus looks like."
  • "Make me a star map link for the night we met: Paris, 15 April 2026 at 20:00."
  • "Which worlds can OrbitStudio print, and what is the smallest region on Pluto?"

Privacy

When Claude uses the connector, Anthropic's servers send us the arguments of that one request, such as a place name, a world, or coordinates and a date for a star map, and nothing else from your conversation. We use them only to answer the request and do not store them. The connector has no login and sets no cookies, so it does not know who you are. Like every request to our servers, it appears in our technical request logs, as described in our privacy policy. Your use of Claude itself is covered by Anthropic's privacy policy.
