Gdacs MCP: live disaster alerts and event data in your AI app

Connect GDACS disaster data to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

1. 1Click Connect GDACS free. There's no sign-in, so its tools are ready at once.
2. 2Every tool reads GDACS data and nothing changes anywhere, so teams usually keep all eight. Switch one off if you want a narrower tool list, such as dropping `get_disaster_statistics` when you only track live events.
3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
4. 4Ask your AI app which disasters are affecting a country your team works in, then open Activity to see the `get_events_by_country` call.

Disaster monitoring questions GDACS can answer

• List currently active disasters, grouped by type with their geographic footprints, using `get_active_disasters`.
• Pull the alerts from the last N hours with `get_recent_alerts`.
• Get the location, severity, affected population and timeline of one event via `get_event_data`.
• Summarize disasters by type and alert level over a period with `get_disaster_statistics`.

A record of every disaster lookup

• Switch off any GDACS tool; ContextGate hides it from your AI app and refuses calls to it.
• Activity records every query, which helps when a team plans around these answers.
