Earthquake Intelligence MCP Server

Real-time seismic data for AI agents. Query USGS earthquake data, track significant events, assess site risk, and evaluate port vulnerability — no API key required.

View on Apify | MCP Endpoint

What It Does

Give AI agents direct access to USGS FDSN earthquake data for real-time seismic intelligence, disaster risk assessment, and emergency response workflows.

• Earthquake queries — search earthquakes near any location with custom magnitude, time, and radius filters
• Significant events — track M4.5+ seismic events for news alerts and trading signals
• Site risk scoring — multi-factor seismic risk assessment for facilities, campuses, and infrastructure
• Port risk scoring — evaluate seismic vulnerability of shipping ports and maritime infrastructure

100% free USGS data. No API key required.

Quick Start

Tools

get_earthquakes

When to call: AI agent assessing seismic activity near a facility, construction site, or investment property.

Example AI prompt: "Show me all earthquakes magnitude 2.5+ within 50km of Tokyo in the past week."

get_significant_events

When to call: AI agent monitoring breaking seismic events for news aggregation, commodity trading, or emergency alerting.

Example AI prompt: "What significant earthquakes happened in the past 24 hours globally? Focus on M5.0+ events near population centers."

get_site_risk_score

When to call: AI agent evaluating seismic risk for a facility, data center, or supply chain node during due diligence or emergency planning.

Example AI prompt: "What's the seismic risk profile for a data center in San Jose, California over the last 5 years?"

get_port_risk_score

When to call: AI agent assessing maritime infrastructure risk for shipping logistics, insurance underwriting, or supply chain resilience planning.

Example AI prompt: "Assess seismic risk for ports in Yokohama, Singapore, and Rotterdam for the past 48 hours."

Who It's For

Emergency Response & Public Safety

Real-time seismic data for disaster coordination, evacuation planning, and first responder routing. Integrate with emergency management systems to auto-trigger alerts when M5.0+ events occur near populated areas.

Supply Chain & Logistics

Assess seismic risk for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and shipping ports. Factor earthquake exposure into supplier evaluation, inventory positioning, and route optimization decisions.

Financial & Commodity Trading

Monitor significant seismic events as inputs for commodity pricing models — earthquakes near mining regions, oil terminals, and manufacturing hubs can disrupt supply chains and move markets.

Insurance & Risk Underwriting

Quantify seismic exposure for portfolio risk assessment. Evaluate site-level and regional earthquake risk for policy pricing, catastrophe modeling, and reinsurance decisions.
