USGS Earthquakes MCP By UnClick
Give your agent live USGS earthquake feeds—global or regional—with detail queries while you build alert dashboards, maps, or research tools without managing API keys.
Overview
USGS Earthquakes MCP by UnClick is a Build-phase MCP server that surfaces recent worldwide and regional earthquake data and details from USGS without an API key.
What is this MCP server?
- Recent earthquakes worldwide and filtered by region
- Event detail retrieval from USGS sources
- No API key required per server description
- stdio via npx @unclick/usgs-mcp v0.1.0
- UnClick standalone package with public GitHub subfolder
- No API key required (per description)
- Package @unclick/usgs-mcp v0.1.0
Community signal: 4 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Builders stall on earthquake features because wiring USGS endpoints and parsing responses manually slows agent-assisted coding loops.
Who is it for?
No-key prototypes for hazard maps, regional feeds, or content tools where USGS recency matters during Build.
Skip if: Mission-critical early warning systems that need certified latency, redundancy, and compliance beyond a dev-focused MCP wrapper.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can list and inspect recent earthquakes through MCP tools so you can ship map, alert, or research features faster.
- Agent-callable USGS recent earthquake listings
- Regional filtering and detail queries via MCP
- Keyless local stdio integration for development
