Api

org.gdacs/api

Connects to GDACS (Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System) to pull real-time disaster data into your Claude workflows. You get access to alerts about earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tropical cyclones, and other natural disasters as they're reported globally. Reach for this when you're building monitoring systems, emergency response tools, or data analysis pipelines that need to track or respond to humanitarian crises. The streamable HTTP transport means you can integrate it remotely without local setup. Useful for NGOs, journalists covering disasters, or anyone building situational awareness dashboards that need authoritative disaster intelligence.
