Live US volcano alerts for hazard & aviation AI.
A hazard or aviation agent needs current volcano status — sourced and citeable. Dynamic Feed serves USGS volcano alert levels keyless over MCP or REST, each response signed and timestamped.
The call
Keyless over MCP, or one REST call with a free key. Every datapoint is provenance-stamped and citeable.
# Keyless — one signed call over REST:
curl -s https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/batch -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"calls":[{"tool":"volcanoes","args":{}}]}'
# MCP (keyless) — point any client at https://dynamicfeed.ai/mcp, then call volcanoes()Sample response

Dynamic Feed serves volcano alert levels from the USGS Volcano Hazards Program (HANS) — the aviation color code (GREEN < YELLOW < ORANGE < RED) and the ground alert level (NORMAL < ADVISORY < WATCH < WARNING) — in a provenance envelope, signed over its exact bytes and verifiable against /.well-known/keys. Scope is US volcanoes only (the global Smithsonian dataset is not cleared for redistribution). It surfaces what the USGS published at a time — it is NOT a substitute for official USGS or local hazard notices, and not a guarantee of completeness.
Use it for
- Ground a hazard / aviation agent in live US volcano alert levels
- A signed record of a volcano's alert status at a point in time
- Aviation routing and emergency-planning workflows
- Pairs with earthquake, wildfire and natural-disaster feeds
FAQ
What does it cover?
US volcanoes monitored by the USGS Volcano Hazards Program. The global Smithsonian dataset is not cleared for commercial redistribution, so this feed is honestly US-only.
What do the levels mean?
Two scales: an aviation color code (GREEN/YELLOW/ORANGE/RED) and a ground alert level (NORMAL/ADVISORY/WATCH/WARNING), as published by the USGS.
Is this an official warning source?
No. Dynamic Feed surfaces public USGS data with provenance and a signature. It is data, not a substitute for official USGS or local emergency guidance.
