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)

count_earthquakes

Get the total count of earthquakes matching specific criteria

get_significant_30_days

No parameters needed. Get highly significant global earthquakes from the last 30 days

query_earthquakes

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

FAQ

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 LangChain connect to MCP servers?

Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.

Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?

All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
