Tools & capabilities

Nasa Eonet tools 6

  • eventsNatural hazard events tracked by NASA EONET (the Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker): wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, floods, icebergs, landslides, dust and haze. Filter by open or closed status, lookback days, category id, bounding box, reporting source, and magnitude range. Returns each event id, title, category, date-stamped geometry (point or polygon), and links to the reporting agency, answering where wildfires, storms, or eruptions are active now and where they occurred recently.
  • get_eventFetch a single event by EONET id.
  • geojsonSame as events but returns GeoJSON FeatureCollection (good for direct map rendering).
  • list_categoriesReturn all EONET event category definitions (id, title, description, layers) used to filter the events and geojson tools.
  • list_sourcesReturn all official data sources (id, title, homepage URL) that EONET aggregates natural-event records from.
  • list_layersVisualization layer reference (mapping the events to imagery layers).

Next Devtools MCP tools 4

  • nextjs_indexDiscover running Next.js dev servers and list each one's runtime MCP tools.
  • nextjs_callCall a runtime tool on a discovered server (errors, routes, logs, Server Actions).
  • nextjs_docsGateway.** Point the agent at version-accurate docs in `node_modules/next/dist/docs/`.
  • browser_evalGateway.** Point the agent at the [`agent-browser`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) CLI for browser automation.
