About

Macrostrat MCP connects AI assistants to the Macrostrat geological database for exploring global geologic data and stratigraphic information. It enables natural language queries to retrieve detailed geological context for any location on Earth. Key features include: - Query geologic units, stratigraphic columns, and formations for specific coordinates - Access mineral data and geologic timescale definitions - Retrieve bedrock geology information and rock unit ages - Generate geology map tiles for visualizing areas of interest - Analyze stratigraphic sequences to determine the geological history of locations

Tools 8

find-columns

Find geological stratigraphic columns, rock layers, and geological history for any location worldwide. Use for geology, bedrock, formations, age dating, and stratigraphic analysis.

find-units

Find geological rock units, formations, bedrock geology, and mineral information for any location worldwide. Use for geology questions, rock types, age dating, lithology, and geological analysis.

defs

Routes giving access to standard fields and dictionaries used in Macrostrat

defs-autocomplete

Quickly retrieve all definitions matching a query. Limited to 100 results

mineral-info

Get information about a mineral, use one property

timescale

Get information about a time period

lat-lng-to-tile

Convert latitude/longitude coordinates to map tile coordinates (x, y) for a given zoom level. Uses the same web mercator projection as MapKit.

map-tiles

Get map tile URLs from the Macrostrat tiles server. Use lat-lng-to-tile tool first to get proper x,y coordinates. Defaults to 'carto' scale which automatically adapts detail level to zoom.

macrostrat-mcp

MCP server for Macrostrat API

[](https://smithery.ai/server/@blake365/macrostrat-mcp)

An MCP server implementation for providing access to the Macrostrat API within Claude Desktop.

Overview

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI assistants and applications to:

  • Query comprehensive geologic data and information provided by the Macrostrat API
  • Access geologic units, columns, minerals, timescales, and more
  • Get geologic map tiles that the LLM can interpret (questionable utility, but might be useful for some applications)
  • Analyze geologic data to improve geological understanding
  • Create graphics and perform data analysis from the data

    • Users can run queries using natural language.

    Sample Output

    Geological History of Nashville, Tennessee

    1. Mesoproterozoic Basement (1.6-1.1 billion years ago)
  • Igneous basement rocks (granite and rhyolite)
  • Part of the ancient North American craton

    • 2. Early-Middle Cambrian (518-504 million years ago)

  • Rome Formation: Mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments
  • Shallow marine environment
  • Part of the developing continental shelf

    • 3. Middle-Late Cambrian (504-498 million years ago)

  • Conasauga Formation: Limestone and mixed sediments
  • Continued marine deposition
  • Alternating limestone and shale indicating fluctuating sea levels

    • 4. Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician (498-470 million years ago)

  • Knox Dolomite: Massive dolomite sequence
  • Extensive shallow marine platform
  • Up to 1,200 meters thick
  • Represents long period of stable marine conditions

    • 5. Middle-Late Ordovician (470-443 million years ago) Several important formations:

  • Stones River Group (including Murfreesboro, Pierce, Lebanon Limestones)
  • Nashville Group (including Hermitage, Bigby-Cannon, Catheys Formations)
  • Primarily limestone deposits
  • Rich in fossils
  • Shallow marine environment
  • Multiple cycles of sea level change

    • 6. Early-Middle Silurian (443-423 million years ago)

  • Brassfield through Decatur Formations
  • Continued marine limestone deposition
  • Various marine environments from shallow to deeper water

    • 7. Middle Devonian-Early Mississippian (390-357 million years ago)

  • Pegram Formation through Chattanooga Shale
  • Shift to more clastic (shale) deposition
  • Chattanooga Shale represents deeper, oxygen-poor conditions

    • 8. Early-Late Mississippian (357-331 million years ago) Several limestone formations:

  • Fort Payne Formation
  • Warsaw Limestone
  • St. Louis Limestone
  • Monteagle Limestone
  • Hartselle Formation
  • Return to carbonate platform conditions
  • Diverse marine environments

    • 9. Cenozoic to Present

  • Long period of erosion and exposure
  • Development of the current landscape
  • Formation of the Nashville Dome structure
  • River and stream deposits

    • Key Features

  • The area was predominantly a marine environment for most of its geological history
  • Dominated by limestone formations indicating warm, shallow seas
  • Multiple cycles of sea level change
  • Rich fossil record, especially in Ordovician rocks
  • Part of the Nashville Dome structural feature
  • Long periods of erosion have removed younger rocks
  • Current topography shaped by differential erosion of various limestone units

    • Present Day Bedrock

    The bedrock of Nashville today consists primarily of Ordovician limestone formations exposed at the surface, particularly the Stones River and Nashville Group limestones. These rocks are well exposed in many areas and have influenced the development of local karst topography, including caves and sinkholes that are common in the region.
