# How to Track Regional Seismic Activity with Copilot

Copilot delivers earthquake data in developer-friendly formats directly in your IDE -- GeoJSON feature collections for map applications, typed JSON for monitoring dashboards, and structured arrays for alert notification systems. Build seismic monitoring features, proximity-based alert triggers, and real-time data visualization components using actual USGS earthquake data, all from within your coding environment without switching to external data portals.

## Setup

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

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Get recent earthquakes near Santiago, Chile using earthquake-monitor"
3. Copilot returns filtered seismic data for the region
4. Ask: "Create a bounding box filter for this data in my monitoring app"

## Example Prompt

```
Fetch recent earthquakes within 500km of Mexico City and output as JSON for my alert system.
```

## Tips

- Use coordinates from the results to define monitoring zones in your application
- The data includes precise lat/long for accurate geographic filtering
- Combine with notification systems to build custom regional alerts
