Setup
Install Geocoding Tool in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/x-mckay/geocode-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides latitude/longitude coordinates for cities and locations using the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API.
- πGlobal Geocoding: Get coordinates for any location worldwide
- πFree API: Uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim (no API key required)
- οΏ½MCP Integration: Works with Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible tools
- π¦Easy Installation: Install via PyPI withuvx geocode-mcp
- οΏ½οΈModern Tooling: Built with Python 3.12+, async/await, and comprehensive testing
Install the package from PyPI using uvx (recommended):
{ "mcpServers": { "geocoding": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["geocode-mcp"] } } }
See theconfig/directory for specific examples for different tools.
Get latitude and longitude coordinates for a city or location.
- location(required): City name, address, or location (e.g., "New York", "Paris, France", "123 Main St, Seattle")
- limit(optional): Maximum number of results to return (default: 1, max: 10)
Get coordinates for Tokyo, Japan Find the latitude and longitude of London, UK What are the coordinates for New York City? Get coordinates for "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC" with limit 5
{ "query": "Tokyo, Japan", "results_count": 1, "coordinates": [ { "latitude": 35.6762, "longitude": 139.6503, "display_name": "Tokyo, Japan", "place_id": "282885117", "type": "city", "class": "place", "importance": 0.9, "bounding_box": { "south": 35.619, "north": 35.739, "west": 139.619, "east": 139.682 } } ] }
Copy the configuration fromconfig/cursor-mcp.jsonto your Cursor MCP settings.
Copy the configuration fromconfig/vscode-mcp.jsonto your VS Code MCP settings.
Copy the configuration fromconfig/claude-desktop.jsonto your Claude Desktop config file.
See theconfig READMEfor detailed setup instructions.
