FEMA MCP Server - Track Disaster & Aid Data
Got an AI agent that needs to dig into disaster data? This server gives it direct access to OpenFEMA. You can use your agent to check official disaster declarations, look up state emergency contacts, and pull structured data on federal aid and hazard mitigation. It ditches the manual API calls and data exports, feeding raw, critical info straight into your workflow.
What You Can Do
- Check Disaster Status: Use
list_disaster_declarationsto pull the most recent official FEMA disaster declarations and all the metadata attached to them. You can also get a general read on disaster application volume usingget_disaster_applicationsandget_public_assistance_applicants. - Find Local Contacts:
get_emergency_agencieslists every emergency management agency by state, so you can verify local coordination contacts across the country. You can also useget_fema_regionsto list the official FEMA administrative regions andget_fema_web_centersto find physical web center locations. - Analyze Aid & Housing: To track recovery efforts, run
get_housing_assistanceto grab details on FEMA housing programs. For individual and household support,get_individuals_programandget_registration_intakegive you the data records for registrations and general program info. - Monitor Grants: Use
get_hazard_mitigation_grantsto access data detailing projects funded by hazard mitigation grants, helping you monitor community safety investments. - Check Connection:
get_meverifies the current API connection status of the server.
How FEMA MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the FEMA MCP Server and enter your optional OpenFEMA API Key.
- 2 Ask your AI agent a natural language question (e.g., 'What are the housing assistance programs in Florida?').
- 3 The agent calls the relevant tool (e.g.,
get_housing_assistance) and presents the structured data.
The bottom line is, your agent talks to OpenFEMA and brings back structured data on disaster relief.
Who Is FEMA MCP For?
Anyone working with public safety data, federal policy, or disaster recovery needs this. It’s for the policy analyst who needs to track assistance distribution across multiple states, and the emergency responder who needs to quickly verify a local agency contact during a crisis. It cuts out the manual process of cross-referencing public government databases.
Monitors federal assistance distribution and tracks hazard mitigation trends across specific states to write reports.
Quickly looks up disaster history or local agency contacts when planning or operating during a disaster event.
Pulls aggregated disaster metrics directly into an AI workflow for public safety reporting and analysis.
What Changes When You Connect
- See the full disaster lifecycle in one place. Instead of checking multiple sites, use
list_disaster_declarationsto see the official history of declarations. This is critical for understanding the scope of a disaster. - Verify local contacts fast. Use
get_emergency_agenciesto list state-by-state emergency management agencies. You get the correct regional contact info without guessing. - Analyze recovery efforts. Use
get_housing_assistanceandget_individuals_programtogether. You can compare the number of people registered (get_individuals_program) against the available housing aid data. - Track funding and resources. Use
get_hazard_mitigation_grantsto monitor active grants. This lets you know exactly where federal money is going for community safety improvements. - Map the bureaucracy. Use
get_fema_regionsandget_fema_web_centersto understand FEMA's official jurisdictional boundaries and physical resource points. - Get raw data without exports. Skip the manual data dump. You can pull raw, structured data directly from the official API using the agent.
Real-World Use Cases
Determining immediate local contacts after a storm
An emergency manager needs to know who to call in a specific county. They ask their agent to run get_emergency_agencies and get_fema_web_centers. The agent returns the local state contacts and the nearest physical FEMA office, giving the manager immediate action items.
Assessing the scope of a major event
A policy analyst needs a quick picture of a disaster's timeline. They ask the agent to run list_disaster_declarations and get_disaster_applications. The agent compiles the most recent declarations and the overall number of people who applied for aid, giving a high-level view of the crisis scale.
Building a recovery funding report
A grant manager needs to show how much money is allocated for resilience. They run get_hazard_mitigation_grants and cross-reference it with get_housing_assistance. This links the funding source to the type of aid provided, building a structured report.
Tracking individual aid status
A data researcher needs to track specific aid paths. They run get_registration_intake (for registrations) and then check get_public_assistance_applicants to see who is actively seeking aid. This allows them to analyze the flow of people into the system.
The Tradeoffs
Trying to find a single answer
Asking the agent, 'What happened after the hurricane?' and expecting one single response that covers everything from grants to housing.
→
Break it down. First, run list_disaster_declarations to set the timeline. Then, run get_housing_assistance for shelter needs and get_emergency_agencies for local contacts. This structured approach ensures all data points are covered.
Forgetting the local context
Only checking federal-level data, like get_fema_regions, and missing out on state-specific contacts.
→
Always check get_emergency_agencies first. This tool confirms the local state coordination body, which is more actionable than just knowing the general federal region.
Over-relying on one data type
Just running get_disaster_applications and thinking that’s the whole picture, ignoring the actual physical locations of help.
→
Pair get_disaster_applications with get_fema_web_centers. This gives you the raw numbers and tells you where people physically go for help.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your goal is to build a full picture of disaster recovery, moving from initial declaration to long-term aid. You need to track the sequence: first, what was the disaster (use list_disaster_declarations); second, who was impacted and what do they need (use get_housing_assistance and get_individuals_program); third, what local resources are available (use get_emergency_agencies); and finally, what is the scope of federal involvement (use get_hazard_mitigation_grants).
Don't use this if you just need a single piece of data, like checking if a single individual's application was filed. For that, a single, targeted query like get_public_assistance_applicants is faster. If you are only interested in the API status, use get_me.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 11 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Trying to map out a disaster's impact and aid coverage is a nightmare of siloed government websites.
Today, gathering a full picture requires logging into FEMA's site, then finding the declaration status, then switching to the housing assistance portal, and finally checking the local emergency management agency's page. You copy numbers, you copy dates, and you spend hours just putting the pieces together.
With the FEMA MCP Server, your agent pulls all that data into one workflow. You ask, 'What was the scope of the disaster, and what aid is available?' and it returns the declarations, the housing data, and the local contacts in one go.
get_hazard_mitigation_grants: Track where the federal money actually goes
Before, you had to request reports from multiple state or local agencies, manually filtering for 'mitigation' and cross-referencing the project IDs with the federal grant list. This was slow and required specific forms.
Now, you query `get_hazard_mitigation_grants`. The agent gives you the grant details and project scopes instantly. You stop chasing paperwork and start analyzing community resilience.
