About USGS Earthquakes MCP Server
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.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and USGS Earthquakes tool infrastructure. Connect 3 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
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.
The USGS Earthquakes MCP Server exposes 3 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
