How to Use the GDACS MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline use GDACS data to write a test for my application?

Yes. You could ask Cline to "write a test that uses getlatestearthquakes and asserts that the API returns a magnitude and location for each event." Cline will write the test file, mock the API call, and validate the response schema.

Q: How does Cline handle geographic data from the GDACS MCP Server?

When you ask for geographic data, Cline uses the geteventgeojson tool. It receives a standard GeoJSON object, which it can then use to write code for any mapping library like Leaflet, Mapbox, or for backend spatial analysis with Python.

Have Cline build live disaster monitoring dashboards and risk reports using real-time GDACS data, right in your VS Code.

Build Live Alert Dashboards

This MCP server connects GDACS data directly to Cline's coding abilities. Tell it, "Build a React component that shows the latest red alerts." Cline calls `get_alerts`, parses the response, and writes the actual JSX to display the data, complete with styling for the color-coded alert levels. It doesn't just show you the data; it writes the front-end code to visualize it. You go from a prompt to a working component that's ready to drop into your app. That's the difference.

Generate GIS Code from Live Events

Combine data fetching and code generation in one step. Ask Cline to "get the GeoJSON for the latest major wildfire and write a Python script to find affected cities." It uses `get_latest_wildfires` to identify the event, `get_event_geojson` to get the boundary data, and then generates a working script using a library like GeoPandas. This turns raw disaster information into executable analysis. Cline handles the API calls, data transformation, and boilerplate code, so you can focus on the results.

Script End-to-End Impact Reports with Cline

You can task Cline with creating complete, data-backed reports. For instance: "Find all recent floods in Brazil, get their impact data, and generate a markdown report summarizing the findings." Cline gets to work, chaining tools from this MCP Server to get the job done. It will use `get_event_list` to find the floods, then loop through them calling `get_impacts` for each one. Finally, it will create a new, formatted `.md` file in your workspace with all the information, ready for you to review or commit.

Yes. You could ask Cline to "write a test that uses `get_latest_earthquakes` and asserts that the API returns a magnitude and location for each event." Cline will write the test file, mock the API call, and validate the response schema.

When you ask for geographic data, Cline uses the `get_event_geojson` tool. It receives a standard GeoJSON object, which it can then use to write code for any mapping library like Leaflet, Mapbox, or for backend spatial analysis with Python.

Absolutely. You can tell Cline to get a list of active volcanoes with `get_latest_volcanoes` and also fetch current cyclones with `get_latest_cyclones`, then write a single JSON file containing both datasets. Cline manages the multiple API calls and merges the results.

Open the Cline sidebar in VS Code and go to the MCP Servers icon. You can install it from the Marketplace tab with one click or add the server URL manually in the Remote Servers tab. It's ready to use immediately.

Only your queries for public disaster information are sent. Cline uses the GDACS tools to fetch data on events like earthquakes or floods; it doesn't transmit your source code or any local files from your project.
