A new bridge between AI agents and seismological data: mcp-fdsnws-event
Our new paper has just been published in SoftwareX: “mcp-fdsnws-event: An MCP gateway for FDSNWS-Event web services”, by Valentino Lauciani and Daniele Bailo. The paper presents mcp-fdsnws-event, an open-source software component that creates a bridge between standard services used by the seismological community and the emerging ecosystem of applications based on Large Language Models and AI agents. The starting point is simple. For many years, the seismological community has used the FDSN Web Services standard to query earthquake catalogues and retrieve information about seismic events. These services are robust, interoperable and widely adopted, but using them normally requires knowledge of APIs, query parameters and formats such as QuakeML. ...
