Real-time natural hazard monitoring: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, solar weather, air quality
Most monitoring and observability work still happens through a UI a human drives. Wems MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Real-time natural hazard monitoring: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, solar weather, air quality.
A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to authoritative natural hazard data sources. Monitor earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and solar events with configurable alerts and webhooks.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
check_earthquakes — Query recent earthquake activitycheck_solar — Monitor space weather (K-index, flares, CMEs)check_volcanoes — Track volcanic activity alertscheck_tsunamis — Monitor tsunami warningscheck_hurricanes — Track tropical cyclones & forecast trackscheck_wildfires — Fire weather alerts & active perimeterscheck_severe_weather — Monitor tornadoes, thunderstorms, flash floodscheck_floods — Flood warnings & USGS river gauge datacheck_air_quality — AQI monitoring with pollutant datacheck_threat_advisories — Terrorism, travel risk & cyber threat monitoringcheck_space_weather_alerts — Active space weather alerts & warnings from NOAA SWPCcheck_drought_status — US state drought conditions with D0-D4 levels (Premium)Configuration is passed through the environment: WEMS_CONFIG, STRIPE_API_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on PyPI as wems-mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Wems's toolset — check_earthquakes, check_solar, check_volcanoes and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by heliosarchitect; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
