mcp-openfema

OpenFEMA MCP — US Federal Emergency Management Agency open data.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1815+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
disaster_declarationsLook up and COUNT US federal disaster declarations (FEMA DisasterDeclarationsSummaries). Filters: state (2-letter), incidentType (e.g. 'Fire', 'Flood', 'Hurricane', 'Severe Storm'), declarationType ('DR' major disaster, 'EM' emergency, 'FM' fire management), year (fyDeclared, the federal FISCAL year), and since/until for a real calendar date range — use since/until for questions like 'in the past year', which a fiscal year does not answer. Counts are DISTINCT DISASTERS by default, not table rows: FEMA publishes one row per disaster per designated county, so Hurricane Harvey is ~60 rows for Texas but one declaration. Pass designatedArea or grain:'area' for county-level rows. Returns the most recent first. The response echoes filters_applied plus a note: declarationType/incidentType/state/designatedArea each narrow the total to a SUBSET (e.g. declarationType:'DR' excludes 'EM' and 'FM') — for an across-all-types/all-states total, call again WITHOUT that filter rather than treating one filtered call's total as the grand total; for a true breakdown, call once per value and sum the totals yourself.
query_datasetGeneric OData query against any OpenFEMA dataset. Specify the entity name (and optionally version; defaults to the verified current version) plus OData params: filter, select, orderby, top, skip. Use list_datasets to see available entities/versions and the filter syntax. Returns { metadata, records }.
list_datasetsList the OpenFEMA datasets this pack knows about, with their entity name, current version, and a description. Also documents the OData filter syntax and response shape. Call this first to discover what query_dataset can target.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfema": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfema/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfema/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1815+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/disaster_declarations \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"state":"CA","year":2024}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/disaster_declarations. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfema": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-openfema"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-openfema

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Openfema data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

Questions fréquentes

Qu'est-ce que Openfema ?

OpenFEMA MCP — US Federal Emergency Management Agency open data.

Comment installer Openfema ?

Il fonctionne comme serveur distant. Dans Claude Code : claude mcp add --transport http openfema 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfema/mcp'. Pour les autres clients, collez la configuration JSON de cette page dans leurs réglages MCP.

Faut-il une clé API pour Openfema ?

Son entrée au registre n'indique aucune clé ni secret obligatoire. Certaines fonctions peuvent tout de même demander un compte auprès du service auquel il se connecte.

Openfema est-il open source ?

Oui. Son code est sur GitHub sous licence MIT.

Qui maintient Openfema ?

Il est publié par pipeworx-io. AI.tn le référence sans le maintenir ni le recommander.

Issu du registre MCP officiel. Être listé n'est pas une recommandation : vérifiez le code et les permissions d'un serveur avant de lui donner accès à vos données.
