Category Health and Science
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-emsc). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability58
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 667 tokens (~333/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
- Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 4 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
recent_earthquakes ~150
Get recent earthquakes from EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre): the last N days above a minimum magnitude, newest first. Convenience wrapper over the FDSN event API. Global coverage, strong in Europe/Mediterranean. Times are UTC ISO 8601, depth in km. Example: recent_earthquakes({ days: 7, minmag: 4 }).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | number | – | How many days back to look (default: 7). |
| limit | number | – | Maximum number of results, 1-1000 (default: 50). |
| minmag | number | – | Minimum magnitude to include (default: 4). |

search_earthquakes ~465
Search seismic events from EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre) via the FDSN-standard seismicportal.eu API. Global coverage with especially strong Europe/Mediterranean reporting — complements USGS. Filter by UTC time range, magnitude, and location (either a bounding box OR a center point + radius in degrees). Times are UTC ISO 8601, depth in km, and place names come from the Flynn-Engdahl region. Example: search_earthquakes({ start: "2026-01-01", end: "2026-02-01", minmag: 5.0, orderby: "magnitude" }) or search_earthquakes({ lat: 38.0, lon: 23.7, maxradius: 5, minmag: 3 }).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| end | string | – | End of UTC time window, ISO 8601. |
| lat | number | – | Center latitude for circular search (use with lon + maxradius). |
| limit | number | – | Maximum number of results, 1-1000 (default: 50). |
| lon | number | – | Center longitude for circular search (use with lat + maxradius). |
| maxlat | number | – | Bounding box northern latitude, -90 to 90 (optional). |
| maxlon | number | – | Bounding box eastern longitude, -180 to 180 (optional). |
| maxmag | number | – | Maximum magnitude (optional). |
| maxradius | number | – | Maximum radius in degrees from center lat/lon (optional). |
| minlat | number | – | Bounding box southern latitude, -90 to 90 (optional). |
| minlon | number | – | Bounding box western longitude, -180 to 180 (optional). |
| minmag | number | – | Minimum magnitude (optional). |
| minradius | number | – | Minimum radius in degrees from center lat/lon (optional). |
| orderby | string | – | Result ordering (default: "time", i.e. newest first). |
| start | string | – | Start of UTC time window, ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-01-01" or "2026-01-01T00:00:00"). |

What tools does the Emsc MCP server expose?
Emsc exposes 2 tools: search_earthquakes, recent_earthquakes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 615 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
