Seismic Station Metadata by Network (EarthScope FDSN)
earthscopefdsnws/stations
Seismic station metadata from the EarthScope Consortium FDSN station service: for a two-character network code such as IU, and optionally one station code such as ANMO, each station epoch with latitude, longitude, elevation, site name and start and end times. At most 200 rows are returned, open and newest epochs first, with a flag when the list was cut. A network or station that matches nothing is refused as a validation error, never an empty list. EarthScope data, reshaped from FDSN text to JSON and served by Eden Engine; not an official EarthScope product.
Price
$0.0026 per call
You pay the price shown. If a call turns out to cost more than its quote, you pay the actual price, capped at twice the quote. No monthly minimum. Top-ups start at $0.50.
Data source
Data from the EarthScope Consortium FDSN station web service (service.earthscope.org), which serves the metadata of seismic stations and channels of the networks registered with FDSN. Served by Eden Engine; not an official EarthScope product.
Use it
Five steps: search, inspect, learn, run, settle. No per-tool setup; your agent reaches this tool through the meta-tools it already has.
Connect once and your AI can find and run this tool, and any other it needs.
// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })
// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "earthscopefdsnws/stations" })
// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "earthscopefdsnws/stations" })
// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "earthscopefdsnws/stations", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "earthscopefdsnws/stations", input: { /* ... */ } })
// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to doNot connected yet? Point your MCP client at https://mcp.eden-engine.com/mcp, then copy a config for your client.
