About jagan-shanmugam/open-streetmap-mcp

OpenStreetMap (OSM) MCP Server is an open-source implementation that enhances LLM capabilities with location-based services and geospatial data. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for geocoding addresses, reverse geocoding coordinates, finding nearby points of interest, getting route directions, searching by category within a bounding box, suggesting optimal meeting points, exploring neighborhoods, analyzing commute options, locating EV charging stations, performing neighborhood livability analysis for real estate, and finding parking facilities. The server also exposes resources for place information and styled map tiles. It can be easily installed via uvx osm-mcp-server in MCP hosts such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf, or run locally using pip install -e . and osm-mcp-server.

FAQ

How do I install the OpenStreetMap MCP server?
In MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, add the following to your MCP configuration: {"mcpServers": {"osm-mcp-server": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["osm-mcp-server"]}}}
What tools does the server provide?
The server provides tools for geocoding, reverse geocoding, finding nearby places, route directions, category search, meeting point suggestion, area exploration, school location, commute analysis, EV charging station search, neighborhood livability analysis, and parking facility search.
Can I run the server locally?
Yes, clone the repository, install the package with `pip install -e .`, then start the server with `osm-mcp-server`. It listens for MCP requests on standard input/output.
Is this project free to use?
