2. Seismic Waveform Processing Workflow

This workflow processes seismic waveform data from MinISEED or SAC files.

Workflow Steps:

1. Read Waveform Data - Load seismic data from file
2. Extract Metadata - Retrieve station and instrument information
3. Visualize Waveform - Generate time-series plot

Implementation:

## Initialize client
client = SeismicClient(
    "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/33/SeisOBS-Tool",
    "<your-api-key>"
)

if not await client.connect():
    print("connection failed")
    exit()

## Input: Path to seismic data file (URL or local path)
data_path = "https://example.com/seismic_data.mseed"
channel_idx = 0  # Channel index to process

## Step 1: Read waveform data
result = await client.session.call_tool(
    "read_mseed_file",
    arguments={
        "data_path": data_path,
        "channel_idx": channel_idx
    }
)

waveform_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Waveform data shape: {len(waveform_data['st'])} samples")

## Step 2: Extract metadata
result = await client.session.call_tool(
    "read_mseed_file_stats",
    arguments={
        "data_path": data_path,
        "channel_idx": channel_idx,
        "outfile": None
    }
)

metadata = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Station: {metadata.get('station', 'N/A')}")
print(f"Sampling rate: {metadata.get('sampling_rate', 'N/A')} Hz")

## Step 3: Visualize waveform
result = await client.session.call_tool(
    "plot_single_waveform",
    arguments={
        "data_path": data_path,
        "channel_idx": channel_idx,
        "outfile": None,
        "starttime": None,
        "endtime": None
    }
)

plot_result = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Waveform plot saved to: {plot_result['st']}")

await client.disconnect()

Input/Output

Input:

• data_path: Path or URL to seismic data file (MinISEED or SAC format)
• channel_idx: Index of the channel to process (0-based)
• starttime/endtime: Optional time window for plotting

Output:

• Waveform data array
