Server details

Identifier: com.daedalmap/earthquakes
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified
Published: Sep 16, 2026

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to daedalmap.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for global USGS earthquake data (2150 BC to present) with magnitude, depth, location and counts, plus event drill-down.

What you can do: Browse the catalog of published data packs and geography families, and inspect a pack's metrics, time coverage and access lane
Query rows from a chosen data pack with exact metrics, region, time and metric filters, sorting and a row limit
Retrieve a single disaster event with its relationships, affected places, native observations or geometry
Get help on the tool contracts and bounded workflow overviews for a topic
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs to answer questions about historical and current earthquakes, compare events by magnitude, depth or place, or pull structured hazard data without building a data pipeline. Discovery and small lookups are free, so it is easy to try.
Requirements: A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no install or account is needed for discovery. Paid lanes require account credit and an API key. Network access to the hosted service.

Before you install

Larger point or reference batches and some data packs are metered; a paid call states its price before charging and draws on account credit with an API key. Check the access lane reported for a pack before querying it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open DaedalMap Earthquake Data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.daedalmap%2Fearthquakes/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

DaedalMap

Bring your data. Connect its geography.

DaedalMap is geographic interoperability infrastructure: a loc_id identity model, versioned boundary geometry, published crosswalks between geography systems, and maintained data packs. Resolve coordinates and reference codes to administrative matches, pull compatible shapes and data, and follow crosswalks into other systems such as census tracts, postal areas, watersheds, and electoral districts.

Use it through a remote MCP server, an HTTP API, a map app, downloadable files, or this repository, which is the open runtime behind all of them.

Connect an agent

The hosted MCP server needs no install or account for discovery:

Claude Code:

Codex:

Any client that supports streamable HTTP MCP can use the same URL. Start with get_tool_help with topic='geometry' for geography jobs, or get_catalog, then get_pack, then get_data for data. Setup for other clients is in the agent docs.

Discovery and small geography lookups are free. Larger point/reference batches and some data packs are metered: a paid call returns its exact price before any charge and is paid from account credit with an API key. get_pack reports the access lane for the selected data pack.

Tools

Job	Tools
Learn the model	`get_tool_help` with a topic or exact tool name
Find what exists	`get_catalog`, then `get_pack` for a data pack or `get_geography` for a geometry family or scope
Query maintained data	`get_data` with a `pack_id`, exact metrics, and structured filters
Inspect one disaster event	`get_event` with an exact `event_id` returned by `get_data`
Coordinates to places	`resolve_point`, then `resolve_deep_point` when Admin 4-6 or one deeper family is needed
Identify a column of codes	`identify_dataset_geography`, `identify_reference_system`
Translate codes between systems	`convert_reference`
Inspect and relate places	`get_loc_id_info`, `compare_geographies`
Retrieve shapes	`get_shape` with exact loc_ids

Each tool takes strict JSON arguments. The calling model turns a user's question into those arguments, and the server returns typed errors with recovery guidance when a call is malformed.

This table is the complete public roster, not a roadmap. Bulk export/job builders and direct upstream live-feed wrappers remain internal or paused and are intentionally absent from tools/list.

The loc_id model

loc_id is DaedalMap's geographic identity model. The administrative spine is the main hierarchy and default join path:

text

USA                      countryUSA-CA                   stateUSA-CA-037               countyUSA-CA-037-221710        census tract

USA                      countryUSA-CA                   stateUSA-CA-037               countyUSA-CA-037-221710        census tract

Other geography families, such as postal areas, watersheds, tribal areas, and marine regions, keep their own loc_id identities. Published crosswalks connect them to the spine and to each other, and each crosswalk row carries its relationship type, overlap weight, source, and vintage. A direct join works when both datasets declare the same identity; otherwise the connection runs through a crosswalk.

Schema details are in docs/DATA_SCHEMAS.md.

Coverage

Geometry: global baseline plus 8+ deeper countries. The same geography tools work worldwide down to Admin 2. Country releases add deeper administrative tiers and reference families for Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, the United States, and more as releases publish.

Data: 20+ maintained data packs covering natural hazards (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, weather alerts), hazard risk and environmental burden, economic and business indicators, currency rates, population, and climate.

The catalogs are the authority for what is available now:

Geometry: app.daedalmap.com/api/v1/geometry/catalog
Data packs: app.daedalmap.com/api/v1/catalog

Downloads

The Windows launcher's public source, build script, and tests are in tools/launcher. Its portable download keeps programs and its managed runtime in the launcher folder by default.

The Downloads page has three kinds of file:

Program - the map app or local MCP runtime, to run DaedalMap on your machine.
Data pack - maintained records for a subject, with source and release evidence.
Geometry package - boundaries and reference geography for a country or family.

Run it yourself

This repository is the open runtime: the FastAPI server, MCP and HTTP API, and map frontend. Use it to self-host, run against your own data, or extend the engine.

The Network expansion also lives in this repository. It adds optional rail, river, and power layers to the local Mapping map and provides a separate spreadsheet editor and Parquet CLI that run without Mapping. The older Lake County road map editor is archived reference code.

To develop one local program without checking out every source directory, see Work on one local tool. The tool source entries cover Mapping, Network, Research MCP, Geometry MCP, and the optional AI expansion, including their current migration status.

Set a data folder in .env:

Leave DATA_ROOT blank to use the default app-data folder. No cloud storage, database, or account is needed. The repository does not ship a data folder; docs/DATA_INSTALLATION.md covers installing packs.

The app opens at http://localhost:7000, and the same MCP server is at http://localhost:7000/mcp. Discovery routes:

GET /api/v1/guide
GET /api/v1/catalog
GET /api/v1/packs/{pack_id}
POST /api/v1/query/dataset

Model API keys are optional. OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY powers the built-in chat panel only; MCP clients bring their own model. A self-hosted instance returns commercial_access_unavailable on paid lanes unless you configure a commercial verifier.

Runtime modes

In cloud data mode the runtime caches small metadata files locally and queries Parquet in object storage through DuckDB httpfs. Details are in docs/LOCAL_AND_HOSTED.md.
