QuakeIndex MCP server
Which MCP servers are QuakeIndex's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Registry namecom.quakeindex/quakeindexverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under quakeindex.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-11-01 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 110 ms.
- Its tools do check how busy this week's quakes are for your area, but not look up mapped faults near your home.
- Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- For "check how busy this week's quakes are for your area", the likely first call is place_activity.
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 4 of 6 tools: check arguments before calling.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
latest_earthquakesThe most recent earthquakes recorded by USGS worldwide or only in the United States, newest first, filtered by minimum magnitude and hours back (up to 7 days). Use for 'any earthquakes today?' questions. Data: USGS, as held by QuakeIndex…
earthquakes_nearEarthquakes within a radius of coordinates, a US ZIP code or a US town, over the last 1-365 days, newest first, each with its distance, plus the largest in the window. Data: USGS, as held by QuakeIndex. Each result includes its source…
earthquake_detailsEverything QuakeIndex holds about one earthquake by USGS event id (or a QuakeIndex/USGS event URL), including every revision it observed — e.g. 'magnitude revised from 4.1 to 3.9'. An automatic solution is a first estimate and says so…
place_activityThe QuakeIndex score for a US state or county: the last 7 days' earthquake activity ranked 0-100 against that place's own 10-year history, its label (quiet / typical / elevated / unusual) and the normal band for a week. It describes…
was_that_an_earthquakeChecks whether USGS has recorded an earthquake that someone who just felt shaking a few minutes ago could have felt: large and close enough for an estimated intensity of MMI 2+ at their location (Atkinson & Wald 2007, the equation USGS…
largest_on_recordThe largest earthquakes in QuakeIndex's copy of the USGS catalogue for a US state, county ('Kern County, CA'), town ('Ridgecrest, CA') or ZIP code, with the catalogue span it covers. Data: USGS, as held by QuakeIndex. Each result includes…
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quakeindex": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://quakeindex.com/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http quakeindex https://quakeindex.com/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://quakeindex.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.
Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
