# How to Monitor Recent Earthquakes with ChatGPT

ChatGPT transforms earthquake data into understandable information by explaining magnitudes in practical terms people can relate to, contextualizing events within tectonic plate dynamics, and helping you assess what seismic activity means for your safety or business operations. It adds the narrative layer that makes raw USGS data meaningful to non-specialists, drafts internal communications about notable events, and helps teams make informed decisions without requiring everyone to become a seismology expert.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Get recent earthquake activity using earthquake-monitor"
3. ChatGPT returns current seismic events with full details
4. Request: "Summarize the most significant events from the last day"

## Example Prompt

```
Show me recent earthquake activity worldwide. Are there any significant quakes in the Pacific Ring of Fire today?
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can explain earthquake magnitudes in practical terms
- Ask for comparisons with historical events of similar magnitude
- Request a geographic summary grouping events by region
