What this server can do
3 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
get_earthquake_detail(event_id)- Get full details of a specific earthquake event by its USGS event ID. Returns comprehensive information including magnitude, location, depth, felt reports, tsunami status, and tectonic summary when available. Args: event_id: The USGS event ID (e.g. 'us7000m1xh'). Get IDs from search results. Required: event_id.
get_earthquakes_near(days, latitude, longitude, radius_km, min_magnitude)- Get earthquakes near a specific geographic location. Searches for earthquakes within a radius of the given coordinates. Useful for assessing local seismic risk or investigating felt reports. Args: latitude: Latitude of the center point (e.g. 37.7749 for San Francisco). longitude: Longitude of the center point (e.g. -122.4194 for San Francisco). radius_km: Search radius in kilometers (default 100, max 20001). min_magnitude: Minimum magnitude to include (default 1.0). days: Number of days to look back (default 30, max 365). Required: latitude, longitude.
get_recent_earthquakes(days, limit, min_magnitude)- Get recent earthquakes worldwide above a minimum magnitude. Returns earthquake events from the USGS catalog sorted by time (newest first). Useful for monitoring seismic activity globally. Args: min_magnitude: Minimum magnitude to include (default 2.5). Use 4.5+ for significant quakes only. days: Number of days to look back (default 7, max 30). limit: Maximum number of earthquakes to return (default 50, max 500).

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
