USGS Earth Science Monitoring
Workflow capability for USGS earth science monitoring combining earthquake catalog data and water resources data. Supports hazard assessment, natural disaster response, environmental monitoring, and scientific research workflows combining seismic activity data with hydrological measurements.
What You Can Do
MCP Tools
query-earthquake-events
Query the USGS earthquake catalog for seismic events. Filter by time range, geographic bounding box, or circular area, magnitude range, and depth. Returns GeoJSON FeatureCollection with event properties including magnitude, location, depth, and PAGER alert level.
count-seismic-events
Count earthquakes in the USGS catalog without retrieving full event data. Useful for assessing seismic activity levels in a region or time period.
get-streamflow-data
Get real-time streamflow and water level measurements from a USGS monitoring station. Specify station ID (e.g., USGS-01646500) and optional parameter code (00060 = discharge cfs, 00065 = gage height ft).
get-daily-water-statistics
Get historical daily water data (mean, max, min values) for a USGS monitoring station. Useful for flood analysis, drought assessment, and long-term trend analysis.
find-usgs-monitoring-stations
Find USGS water monitoring stations by state, type, or geographic bounding box. Returns location details including coordinates, HUC codes, and monitoring parameters available at each station.
