What is the 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.
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.
Built-in capabilities (3)
Get the total count of earthquakes matching specific criteria
No parameters needed. Get highly significant global earthquakes from the last 30 days
Use parameters like starttime, endtime, minmagnitude, and geographic boundaries (latitude/longitude/maxradiuskm) to narrow the search. Maximum 20,000 events returned per query. Search for global earthquakes using USGS real-time seismic data
Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use USGS Earthquakes tools. Connect 3 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API key required?
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.
What is the query limit?
The maximum number of events returned per single API query is 20,000. If your time range or boundaries are too wide, the API will fail. Use the count tool first on large searches.
How fast is the data updated?
The USGS typically updates its earthquake data within minutes of an event occurring, making it one of the most reliable sources for near real-time seismic alerts.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call USGS Earthquakes tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
