# How to Track Regional Seismic Activity with Claude

Claude turns raw seismic data into actionable intelligence by analyzing earthquake patterns, comparing current activity against historical baselines for specific regions, and reasoning through what the numbers mean for safety and operations. It identifies geographic clusters, flags unusual activity levels, calculates proximity to population centers, and helps you understand whether a given week of seismic events represents normal background activity or something that warrants closer attention and possible response.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Get recent earthquakes near California using earthquake-monitor"
3. Claude returns seismic events filtered to the California region
4. Ask: "Is this level of activity normal for this area?"

## Example Prompt

```
Show me recent earthquake activity near Tokyo, Japan. Filter for magnitude 3.0 and above. How does this compare to a typical week?
```

## Tips

- Specify a city or region name and Claude will handle the geographic filtering
- Ask for a comparison with historical averages to gauge whether activity is elevated
- Track a region over multiple days to spot increasing or decreasing trends
