Nankai MCP Server

nankai-mcp

An honest Nankai Trough (南海トラフ地震) earthquake hazard + building-safety engine for AI assistants. Ask "how bad is the Nankai Trough quake, how far does it reach, and what does that mean for a house built in 1978?" — and get official Japanese government figures, every one cited and dated, with a route to the official maps for your exact address. It never tells you you're "safe."

It reports what 内閣府 (Cabinet Office), 地震本部, 気象庁, and 国土交通省 actually publish — and where a figure isn't verifiable, it points you at the source instead of inventing one. Bilingual EN/JA. Runs locally, no API keys.

⚠️ Not a prediction, not a verdict. This explains official data and routes you to official guidance and a professional seismic diagnosis (耐震診断). Always confirm with your municipality and official hazard maps. In an emergency, follow official evacuation instructions.

Why it exists

Most people underestimate the reach. The 30-year probability was revised by 地震本部 in September 2025 away from the old single "80%" to a two-model range — 60–90%+ (higher model) / 20–50% — intensity-7 shaking is projected across 10 prefectures, and 764 municipalities in 31 prefectures face major shaking or a 3 m+ tsunami. "I'm inland, so I'm fine" is exactly the assumption this corrects.

The authoritative data is real, but it's scattered across five agencies and mostly buried in PDFs. This server makes it honest, cited, and usable from an AI assistant — without ever inventing a number.

The honesty contract

• No verdicts. It reports official figures + plain-language meaning, never "your home is safe/unsafe."
• Every figure cites its official source + date. If a value isn't verifiable in a primary source, it points to the source instead of guessing.
• Probabilistic ≠ scenario. J-SHIS (all-source probability) is never presented as the Nankai scenario (Cabinet Office).
• Building safety can't be looked up — it's classified from the build year + structure you provide. No fabricated per-building data.

Install

claude mcp add nankai -- npx -y nankai-mcp

JSON config

The server config is the same across clients; only the file path differs.

Config path:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

From source

git clone https://github.com/mrslbt/nankai-mcp.git
cd nankai-mcp
npm install && npm run build

Point the client config at the built entry:

{ "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/nankai-mcp/dist/index.js"] }

Tools

Prompts: assess_home_earthquake_risk, nankai_briefing.

Resources

Read-only reference documents a client can list and read without a tool call. Each is rendered from the same data the tools use, so they never drift out of sync.

Example prompts

Brief me on the Nankai Trough earthquake — the scale, the reach, and what
intensity 7 actually means for a building.

My house is in 高知市本町. Give me the official hazard maps for my address's
predicted shaking and tsunami.

I live in a wooden house built in 1978. What seismic standard is that under,
and what should I do about it? Don't tell me whether it's safe.

Walk me through honestly assessing my home's earthquake risk:
静岡市葵区追手町9-6, built 1990, reinforced concrete.

Scope — v1 vs v2

v1 (this) does not compute a per-address Nankai intensity/tsunami value. That data lives in bulk Cabinet Office GIS files that need an ingestion pipeline. Instead, official_hazard_maps bridges you to the official maps that already hold it. Computing it in-app is the deliberate v2.

Headline figures (and where they come from)

Every figure below is verified against the primary government source and carries an as-of date in the tool output. See src/data/nankai.ts for the full verification log.

南海トラフ地震のハザードと建物の耐震性を、公的データだけで正直に扱うMCPサーバーです。内閣府・地震本部・気象庁・国土交通省の公表値を、出典と日付つきで提示し、あなたの住所の正確な想定震度・津波は公式ハザードマップへ橋渡しします。建物の安全性は「安全／危険」と判定せず、建築年と構造から耐震基準の世代を示し、耐震診断・補助制度へ案内します。ローカル動作、APIキー不要。
