count_earthquakes
Pack: usgs-earthquakes · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/usgs-earthquakes/mcp
Count earthquakes matching a filter without returning the events — fast for questions like “how many M5+ quakes in the last month near X”. Same filters as search_earthquakes (time, magnitude, circular area). Keyless.
