What this MCP does

Retrieves recent and historical USGS earthquake events, including locations, magnitudes, depths, and nearby activity.

Capabilities

Tools

3 tools
get_earthquake_detail
Get full details of a specific earthquake event by its USGS event ID. Returns comprehensive information including magnitude, location, depth, felt reports, tsunami status, and tectonic summary when available. Args: event_id: The USGS event ID (e.g. 'us7000m1xh'). Get IDs from search results.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_earthquake_detailArguments', 'required': ['event_id'], 'properties': {'event_id': {'type': 'string', 'title': 'Event Id'}}}
Output schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_earthquake_detailOutput', 'required': ['result'], 'properties': {'result': {'type': 'string', 'title': 'Result'}}}
get_earthquakes_near
Get earthquakes near a specific geographic location. Searches for earthquakes within a radius of the given coordinates. Useful for assessing local seismic risk or investigating felt reports. Args: latitude: Latitude of the center point (e.g. 37.7749 for San Francisco). longitude: Longitude of the center point (e.g. -122.4194 for San Francisco). radius_km: Search radius in kilometers (default 100, max 20001). min_magnitude: Minimum magnitude to include (default 1.0). days: Number of days to look back (default 30, max 365).
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_earthquakes_nearArguments', 'required': ['latitude', 'longitude'], 'properties': {'days': {'type': 'integer', 'title': 'Days', 'default': 30}, 'latitude': {'type': 'number', 'title': 'Latitude'}, 'longitude': {'type': 'number', 'title': 'Longitude'}, 'radius_km': {'type': 'number', 'title': 'Radius Km', 'default': 100}, 'min_magnitude': {'type': 'number', 'title': 'Min Magnitude', 'default': 1.0}}}
Output schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_earthquakes_nearOutput', 'required': ['result'], 'properties': {'result': {'type': 'string', 'title': 'Result'}}}
get_recent_earthquakes
Get recent earthquakes worldwide above a minimum magnitude. Returns earthquake events from the USGS catalog sorted by time (newest first). Useful for monitoring seismic activity globally. Args: min_magnitude: Minimum magnitude to include (default 2.5). Use 4.5+ for significant quakes only. days: Number of days to look back (default 7, max 30). limit: Maximum number of earthquakes to return (default 50, max 500).
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_recent_earthquakesArguments', 'properties': {'days': {'type': 'integer', 'title': 'Days', 'default': 7}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'title': 'Limit', 'default': 50}, 'min_magnitude': {'type': 'number', 'title': 'Min Magnitude', 'default': 2.5}}}
Output schema 
{'type': 'object', 'title': 'get_recent_earthquakesOutput', 'required': ['result'], 'properties': {'result': {'type': 'string', 'title': 'Result'}}}
