USGS Earthquakes
Let your agent pull real-time USGS earthquake events for incident boards, safety apps, or on-call awareness while you run or extend a product.
Overview
USGS Earthquakes is a MCP server for the Operate phase that streams real-time U.S. Geological Survey earthquake events to your agent through a hosted streamable-http MCP.
What is this MCP server?
- Real-time earthquake events sourced from US Geological Survey via hosted MCP
- Remote endpoint https://mcp.olyport.com/earthquake/mcp (streamable-http, v1.1.0)
- Agent-queryable event feed for ops consoles and safety-adjacent products
- Avoid maintaining direct USGS polling scripts in your repo
- Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and generic MCP agents
- Server version 1.1.0
- Single remote: mcp.olyport.com/earthquake/mcp (streamable-http)
- Data source: real-time earthquake events from US Geological Survey
What problem does it solve?
Keeping an earthquake-aware product current means fragile cron jobs and USGS API trivia that distract from real monitoring and user trust work.
Who is it for?
Solo operators building or running apps that need agent-assisted USGS earthquake awareness and event lookups.
Skip if: Life-safety systems that must meet strict alerting SLAs without your own compliance review, or non-seismic product roadmaps.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After adding the remote MCP, your agent can query fresh USGS earthquake events to fuel alerts, ops summaries, and monitoring UIs.
- Agent-accessible USGS earthquake event lookups
- Feed suitable for monitoring panes or notification triggers
- Less custom polling code against USGS endpoints
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Earthquake feeds matter most when something is live and you need timely situational awareness, not when you are only naming a startup idea. Monitoring subphase captures real-time hazard event streams that inform alerts, status pages, and ops runbooks.
How it compares
Real-time hazard monitoring MCP, not a Launch-phase SEO or distribution skill.
