USGS Earthquakes MCP server — FAQ

Common questions about connecting and running USGS Earthquakes.

  • What earthquake data does this server provide?

    This MCP server connects to the US Geological Survey's real-time earthquake event feed, allowing you to query current seismic activity by location, magnitude, and time range. It surfaces live earthquake data that USGS publishes.

  • How do I authenticate or set up this server?

    The server is hosted at https://mcp.olyport.com/earthquake/mcp and uses HTTP transport. Check the MCP server documentation for connection setup; USGS earthquake data is publicly available and does not require API keys.

  • What's the difference between this and querying USGS directly?

    This MCP server wraps USGS earthquake data in the Model Context Protocol, making it easy to integrate with Claude and other AI tools without writing custom HTTP clients. It standardizes the interface for AI-driven queries.

  • Can I filter earthquakes by magnitude or location?

    Yes—the server queries USGS real-time feeds, which support filtering by magnitude threshold, geographic region, and time window. Refer to the server's tool documentation for exact parameter names and ranges.

  • Is there a rate limit or cost?

    USGS earthquake data is free and public. Check with olyport.com for any rate limits on the hosted endpoint; USGS itself does not charge for earthquake data access.
