🛸 uap-pulse
An MCP server (and a live map) for the Pentagon's declassified UAP files.
On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of War published the first PURSUE Release on war.gov/UFO — 238 declassified UAP/UFO records spanning 1944–2026, across seven federal agencies (War, FBI, NASA, State, CIA, ODNI, Energy). uap-pulse puts that release at your AI agent's fingertips — and on a map.
Government records only. This project uses only public-domain U.S. federal records (17 U.S.C. § 105). No scraped third-party databases, no civilian data behind a ToS. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. government.

Use it as an MCP server
Your agent can search 238 declassified files by location, agency, era, or type — and pull the direct war.gov source link for each.
Claude Desktop / any MCP client — add to your config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"uap-pulse": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "uap-pulse"] }
}
}
That's it — no API key, no auth, no cost. The data ships with the package.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_sightings | Search by free text, agency, type (PDF/VID/IMG), year_start/year_end, or location. |
search_nearby | Incidents within a radius (km) of a lat/lng, sorted by distance. |
get_sighting | Full record for one file id (e.g. pursue-042) + the war.gov link. |
hotspots | The locations with the most declassified records. |
stats | Totals + breakdowns by agency, file type, and era. |
timeline | Records per decade (or year), 1944 → 2026. |
Example — "What UAP files mention the Moon?" → search_sightings({ location: "Moon" }) → NASA Gemini/Apollo records with their war.gov links.
The live map
A 3D globe of every geolocatable record — points pulse where the sightings cluster, colored by agency, filterable by era (WWII Foo Fighters → the Navy Era). Click a hotspot to read the files and open them on war.gov. Off-world records (Moon, orbit) get their own panel.
Run it locally:
cd site && python3 -m http.server 8080 # then open http://localhost:8080
Or deploy the site/ folder to Vercel (static, no build step).
