Usgs Earthquakes Overview
Usgs Earthquakes connects MCP clients to the USGS Earthquake Catalog through its FDSNWS event API. Search events by time, magnitude, depth, or circular geographic area; retrieve complete records by event ID; or count matching events without returning them. Use it for seismic monitoring, historical analysis, and questions such as how many significant earthquakes occurred near a location. The hosted endpoint is keyless for initial calls, while the local npm bridge forwards requests to the same gateway.
- Search recent earthquakes near a geographic area
- Count magnitude-threshold events over a time window
- Inspect a USGS event by its identifier
- Compare historical seismic activity by region
