{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}fdsn_stations — "Which seismometers are near Yellowstone?" / "what channels does station IU ANMO record?" — seismic station metadata from EarthScope, the largest FDSN data centre. AUTHORITATIVE for where seismic instruments physically are: returns network and station codes, site name, latitude/longitude/elevation, the operating date range, and (at channel level) every recorded channel with its sample rate, sensor description, azimuth and dip. Search by network/station code, by a geographic box, or by radius around a point. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for seismic instrumentation questions.fdsn_events — "What small earthquakes happened near Etna this week?" — earthquake catalogues published by REGIONAL seismological agencies over the FDSN standard: GFZ GEOFON (global rapid solutions), INGV (Italy, down to about M0.5), RESIF (France), KOERI (Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean). Complements the global catalogues — these agencies list the local magnitude-1-to-3 events that USGS and EMSC never publish. Returns event id, origin time, latitude/longitude/depth, magnitude and magnitude type, region name and event type.fdsn_availability — "Where can I download waveform data for station IU ANMO in September 2026?" — which FDSN data centres actually hold seismic waveform data for a given network/station/channel and time window, from the EarthScope federated catalogue. Returns each data centre that holds matching data, its dataselect and station service URLs, and the exact network/station/location/channel/time rows it can serve. This is the "is the data there, and from whom" question — the waveform bytes themselves are fetched from the returned dataselect URL, not from here.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
