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.

Whose server it is
  • 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.

  • Tools6
  • Server calls itselfquakeindex

On 2026-11-01 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 110 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • 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.

  • cannot · look up mapped faults near your home
  • not sure · watch live earthquakes on a map of the US

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

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_earthquakes

    The 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_near

    Earthquakes 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_details

    Everything 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_activity

    The 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_earthquake

    Checks 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…

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/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.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.
