\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nEight tools covering the OpenFEMA data surface — convenience tools for the headline datasets, SQL analytics over large NFIP result sets via DuckDB canvas, and a generic escape hatch for datasets the convenience tools don't cover:\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:---|:---|\n| `fema_search_disasters` | Search federal disaster declarations by state, incident type, declaration type, date range, and county |\n| `fema_get_disaster` | Fetch all designated-area records for a specific disaster by disaster number |\n| `fema_get_public_assistance` | Public assistance funded projects for a disaster or state — where federal recovery money went |\n| `fema_get_housing_assistance` | Individual assistance housing data for a disaster — owner and renter breakdowns by county/ZIP |\n| `fema_search_nfip` | NFIP flood insurance claims for a state, county, or ZIP, with optional DataCanvas spillover for SQL analytics |\n| `fema_dataframe_describe` | List columns and row counts for DataCanvas tables staged by `fema_search_nfip` |\n| `fema_dataframe_query` | Run a SELECT query against a DataCanvas table staged by `fema_search_nfip` |\n| `fema_query_dataset` | Generic OData query against any OpenFEMA v2 dataset — escape hatch for datasets the convenience tools don't cover |\n\n### `fema_search_disasters`\n\nThe primary entry point — \"what disasters were declared in Texas in 2025?\"\n\n- Filter by state (2-letter code), incident type (Hurricane, Flood, Wildfire, etc.), declaration type (`DR`/`EM`/`FM`), date range, and county\n- Returns deduplicated declaration-level summaries — one row per declaration, not per designated area\n- Includes disaster number (the join key for PA and housing tools), title, state, incident type, declaration/incident dates, programs declared (IA/PA/HM), and `designatedAreaCount`\n- Paginated via `limit` / `offset`\n\n---\n\n### `fema_get_disaster`\n\nFetch all designated-area records for a specific FEMA disaster number.\n\n- Returns every county/municipality row for the declaration with programs activated, incident period, and FIPS codes\n- Use after `fema_search_disasters` to drill into a specific event; the disaster number chains to PA and housing tools\n- `DisasterDeclarationsSummaries` returns one row per designated area — a single declaration can span dozens of counties\n\n---\n\n### `fema_get_public_assistance`\n\nRetrieve PA funded project details — where federal recovery money went after a disaster.\n\n- Filter by `disaster_number`, `state`, or `county`; at least one of `disaster_number` or `state` is required\n- Returns applicant, damage category, project size/status, federal share obligated, and total obligated\n- Useful for journalists, researchers, and oversight analysts tracking federal grant flows\n\n---\n\n### `fema_get_housing_assistance`\n\nIndividual assistance housing data for a disaster, broken down by county and ZIP.\n\n- Returns owner and renter breakdowns via `type` param (`owners`/`renters`/`both`)\n- Fields include valid registrations, total inspected, total damage, approved IHP amounts, repair/rental/other-needs amounts, and max grants\n- Covers `HousingAssistanceOwners` and `HousingAssistanceRenters` datasets in a single call\n\n---\n\n### `fema_search_nfip`\n\nNFIP flood insurance claims with optional DuckDB-backed SQL analytics for large result sets.\n\n- Requires at minimum a `state` filter — unfiltered NFIP Claims is 2.7M rows\n- Additional filters: `county_code`, `zip_code`, `year_from`, `year_to`; pagination via `limit`\n- When `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb` is set and results exceed the inline cap, the full result set spills to a DataCanvas table and returns a `canvas_id` handle\n- Use `fema_dataframe_describe` to inspect the schema, then `fema_dataframe_query` for aggregation, grouping, and time-series analysis without re-fetching\n\n---\n\n### `fema_dataframe_describe` / `fema_dataframe_query`\n\nIn-conversation SQL analytics over NFIP Claims data staged by `fema_search_nfip` on a DuckDB-backed DataCanvas.\n\n- `fema_dataframe_describe`: lists columns, types, and row count for a canvas table — use before writing a query\n- `fema_dataframe_query`: runs a single SELECT statement against the staged table; standard DuckDB SQL (GROUP BY, SUM, window functions, time-series)\n- Workflow: `fema_search_nfip` (with canvas enabled) → `fema_dataframe_describe` → `fema_dataframe_query`\n- Read-only — writes, DDL, and DROP are rejected by the framework SQL gate\n\n---\n\n### `fema_query_dataset`\n\nGeneric OData query against any OpenFEMA v2 dataset — the escape hatch for datasets the convenience tools don't cover.\n\n- Accepts raw `$filter`, `$select`, `$orderby`, `limit`, and `offset` params\n- Dataset name must match an actual OpenFEMA endpoint (e.g. `FimaNfipPolicies`, `IndividualAssistanceHousingRegistrantsLargeDisasters`)\n- Validates that the API returns JSON (Content-Type check) and surfaces structured error codes on 400 responses\n\n## Resources and prompts\n\n| Type | Name | Description |\n|:---|:---|:---|\n| Resource | `fema://disaster/{disasterNumber}` | Summary for a specific FEMA disaster declaration — title, state, incident type, programs, incident period |\n\nAll resource data is also reachable via tools. Use `fema_get_disaster` for the same data with pagination and full designated-area detail.\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool, resource, and prompt definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats\n- Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports\n\nFEMA/OpenFEMA-specific:\n\n- Typed OpenFEMA REST client with OData parameter building (`%24`-encoded to satisfy Akamai's Drupal layer), response parsing, and structured error classification (JSON 400 vs HTML 404)\n- Automatic deduplication of `DisasterDeclarationsSummaries` — one row per designated area collapsed to declaration-level summaries with `designatedAreaCount`\n- NFIP Claims guard: `state` filter is required to prevent unbounded 2.7M-row fetches\n- DataCanvas spillover for NFIP analytics — large NFIP result sets materialize as DuckDB tables queryable via SQL without re-fetching\n- No API keys required — OpenFEMA is a free, public API\n\nAgent-friendly output:\n\n- Disaster number is the explicit join key across all datasets — every tool that touches a disaster surfaces it prominently so agents can chain calls without re-searching\n- Typed error contracts on every tool — `invalid_state`, `no_results`, `missing_filter`, `state_required`, `unknown_dataset`, `invalid_filter` — with recovery hints telling agents the concrete next step\n- `designatedAreaCount` on search results so agents know whether to drill in with `fema_get_disaster` without having to fetch the full record first\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Public Hosted Instance\n\nA public instance is available at `https://fema.caseyjhand.com/mcp` — no installation required. Point any MCP client at it via Streamable HTTP:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"fema-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"streamable-http\",\n \"url\": \"https://fema.caseyjhand.com/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Self-Hosted / Local\n\nAdd the following to your MCP client configuration file.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"fema-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"bunx\",\n \"args\": [\"@cyanheads/fema-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with npx (no Bun required):\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"fema-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@cyanheads/fema-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with Docker:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"fema-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"docker\",\n \"args\": [\n \"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\",\n \"-e\", \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio\",\n \"ghcr.io/cyanheads/fema-mcp-server:latest\"\n ]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nFor Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:\n\n```sh\nMCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http\n# Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp\n```\n\nTo enable DuckDB-backed SQL analytics for NFIP Claims:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"fema-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"bunx\",\n \"args\": [\"@cyanheads/fema-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE\": \"duckdb\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+).\n- No API keys required — OpenFEMA is a free, public API.\n- Optional: set `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb` to enable SQL analytics over large NFIP Claims result sets.\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/cyanheads/fema-mcp-server.git\n```\n\n2. **Navigate into the directory:**\n\n```sh\ncd fema-mcp-server\n```\n\n3. **Install dependencies:**\n\n```sh\nbun install\n```\n\n4. **Configure environment:**\n\n```sh\ncp .env.example .env\n# edit .env — no required vars, but CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=duckdb enables SQL analytics\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nAll configuration is validated at startup via Zod schemas in `src/config/server-config.ts`. Key environment variables:\n\n| Variable | Description | Default |\n|:---------|:------------|:--------|\n| `FEMA_BASE_URL` | Override the OpenFEMA API base URL. | `https://www.fema.gov/api/open/v2` |\n| `FEMA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` | Per-request HTTP timeout in milliseconds. NFIP county queries can be slow. | `30000` |\n| `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE` | Set to `duckdb` to enable DataCanvas for NFIP Claims analytics. Without it, `fema_search_nfip` inlines results up to the cap. | — |\n| `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` | Transport: `stdio` or `http`. | `stdio` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_PORT` | HTTP server port. | `3010` |\n| `MCP_AUTH_MODE` | Auth mode: `none`, `jwt`, or `oauth`. | `none` |\n| `MCP_LOG_LEVEL` | Log level (`debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, etc.). | `info` |\n| `LOGS_DIR` | Directory for log files (Node.js only). | `/logs` |\n| `OTEL_ENABLED` | Enable [OpenTelemetry instrumentation](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/tree/main/docs/telemetry). | `false` |\n\nSee [`.env.example`](https://github.com/cyanheads/fema-mcp-server/blob/main/.env.example) for the full list of optional overrides.\n\n## Running the server\n\n### Local development\n\n- **Build and run:**\n\n ```sh\n # One-time build\n bun run rebuild\n\n # Run the built server\n bun run start:stdio\n # or\n bun run start:http\n ```\n\n- **Run checks and tests:**\n\n ```sh\n bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security\n bun run test # Vitest test suite\n bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec\n ```\n\n### Docker\n\n```sh\ndocker build -t fema-mcp-server .\ndocker run --rm -e MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio fema-mcp-server\n```\n\nThe Dockerfile defaults to HTTP transport, stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/fema-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them. The `@duckdb/node-api` native binary is copied from the build stage, so the production image doesn't need build tools.\n\n## Project structure\n\n| Directory | Purpose |\n|:----------|:--------|\n| `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools/resources and inits services. |\n| `src/config` | Server-specific environment variable parsing and validation with Zod. |\n| `src/mcp-server/tools` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`) — one file per tool. |\n| `src/mcp-server/resources` | Resource definitions (`*.resource.ts`). |\n| `src/services/openfema` | OpenFEMA REST API client — OData param builder, response parser, error classifier, retry wrapper. |\n| `src/services/canvas` | DataCanvas integration — DuckDB spillover for large NFIP result sets. |\n| `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring `src/`. |\n\n## Development guide\n\nSee [`CLAUDE.md`](https://github.com/cyanheads/fema-mcp-server/blob/main/CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:\n\n- Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic\n- Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage\n- Register new tools and resources via the barrels in `src/mcp-server/*/definitions/index.ts`\n- Wrap external API calls: validate raw → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields\n\n## Contributing\n\nIssues and pull requests are welcome. Run checks and tests before submitting:\n\n```sh\nbun run devcheck\nbun run test\n```\n\n## Data source\n\nData is provided by the [OpenFEMA API](https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/api), a free public API maintained by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
