World Event Monitoring System - MCP server for natural hazard monitoring

🌍 WEMS - World Event Monitoring System

🚨 Real-time Natural Hazard Monitoring for AI Agents

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.

⚡ Key Features

• 🌋 4 Authoritative Data Sources: USGS, NOAA (2x), Smithsonian GVP
• 🎯 Real-time Monitoring: Live data feeds with customizable thresholds
• 🔔 Smart Alerts: Webhook notifications for critical events
• 🗺️ Geographic Filtering: Target specific regions or global coverage
• 🔧 Zero Configuration: Works out-of-the-box, configure only what you need
• 🐳 Production Ready: Docker support, comprehensive error handling

Natural Hazards Covered

Hazard Type	Data Source	Coverage
🌊 Earthquakes	USGS	Global, magnitude filtering
🌊 Tsunamis	NOAA Pacific + Central Warning Centers	Global ocean basins
🌋 Volcanoes	Smithsonian GVP + USGS	Global volcanic activity
☀️ Solar Events	NOAA Space Weather	Solar flares, CMEs, geomagnetic storms

🚀 Quick Start

Install via PyPI (Recommended)

pip install wems-mcp-server

Or install from source

git clone https://github.com/heliosarchitect/wems-mcp-server.git
cd wems-mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

Basic Usage

# Run as MCP server (connects to AI assistants)
python -m wems_mcp_server

# Test earthquake monitoring
python -c "
import asyncio
from wems_mcp_server import check_earthquakes
print(asyncio.run(check_earthquakes(min_magnitude=6.0)))
"

Example Output
