Ph Civic Data MCP Tools (32)
get_data_freshness
Server health + data-source catalog probe.
Doubles as the canonical version/health endpoint: returns server_version
so agents can confirm which release they are talking to. Also returns the
full upstream-source catalog with cache TTLs, freshness expectations, and
licenses — useful when deciding whether a stale cached response is OK or
a re-fetch is needed.
Returns: server_version, server_name, transport, tool_count, asof,
sources (list of {source, source_url, freshness, cache_ttl_seconds,
license}), note.
get_latest_earthquakes
Get the latest earthquake events from PHIVOLCS.
get_earthquake_bulletin
Get the full bulletin for a PHIVOLCS earthquake event.
get_volcano_status
Get current alert level for Philippine volcanoes.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Adamamer20 Paper Search MCP Openai is categorized under Research and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Ph Civic Data MCP belongs to Research using local stdio subprocess. Select Adamamer20 Paper Search MCP Openai when you need capabilities focused on research and Ph Civic Data MCP when you require tools for research.
Get weather forecast for a Philippine location.
Uses PAGASA TenDay API when PAGASA_API_TOKEN is set, Open-Meteo otherwise.
get_active_typhoons
Get active tropical cyclones in/near the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Returns empty list if none active. If the PAGASA bulletin page is
unreachable, returns {results: [], upstream_error: true, caveats} instead,
so an outage is never read as "no active typhoons".
get_weather_alerts
Get active PAGASA weather alerts and advisories.
The PAGASA homepage embeds alert names ("Heavy Rainfall Warning",
"Flood Advisory") in its navigation menu and breadcrumbs as well as
in actual active-warning sections. We can reliably detect the
"No Active Warnings" state but cannot yet isolate active warnings
from chrome text. To avoid fabricated advisories, this tool returns
`[]` with a caveat when the page is reachable but the state is
ambiguous, and `[]` with the explicit "no active warnings" signal
when the homepage says so. For real-time advisories, call
`bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph` directly.
search_procurement
Search PH government procurement from PhilGEPS open data.
Note: the PhilGEPS public portal does not expose server-side search for
external clients, so this tool fetches the latest ~100 bid notices and
filters them in-memory. Data is cached 6 hours. Keyword/agency/region
filters are applied client-side (case-insensitive substring match).
get_procurement_summary
Aggregate procurement statistics over the latest notices cached from PhilGEPS.
get_population_stats
Philippine population from PSA OpenSTAT (2020 Census).
get_poverty_stats
Poverty incidence from PSA (latest: 2023 Full-Year).
get_inflation_stats
Headline consumer-price inflation (year-on-year, all items) from PSA.
Source: PSA OpenSTAT Consumer Price Index, 2018-based. The tool discovers
the current CPI series by text (never a hardcoded table id) and returns the
most recently published month's year-on-year change. Reports the exact
reference period — PSA publishes with a lag, so this is the latest available
figure, not necessarily the current month.
