The USGS Earthquakes MCP Server brings planet-scale telemetry directly to your AI agent. Pulling strictly real-time and historical data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) API, this tool gives you instant visibility into everything from micro-tremors to catastrophic seismic events globally.

Core Capabilities

  • Global Seismic Monitoring — Query real-time data across the planet.
  • Radial & Bounding Box Search — Focus searches on specific fault lines, continents, or specific radial points like Tokyo or San Francisco.
  • Magnitude & Time Filters — Zero in on data by slicing through specific date ranges and Richter thresholds.
  • High-Alert Diagnostics — Detect immediate tsunami warnings and review detailed human-curated significance ratings.

Whether you are building environmental response bots or running historical data analytics on tectonic shifts, this zero-auth integration puts the pulse of the planet in your hands.

Show me the most significant earthquakes in the world from the last 30 days.

I've pulled the recent significant earthquakes from USGS. We've recorded an M 6.8 near Taiwan and an M 7.2 off the coast of Alaska. There are currently no tsunami warnings.

Count the number of earthquakes above magnitude 2.5 in California in 2023.

Based on the USGS database, there were exactly 4,312 earthquakes above magnitude 2.5 within the California coordinate bounds throughout 2023.

Check if there are any current tsunami warnings globally.

I checked the USGS sensors. No events currently trigger a tsunami warning. The highest alert level across all oceanic faults in the last 24 hours remains green.

No! The USGS FDSNWS Event API is completely open and requires zero authentication, making this one of the most accessible and powerful real-time data sources available.
