Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

An OpenStreetMap MCP server implementation that enhances LLM capabilities with location-based services and geospatial data.

Demo

Meeting Point Optimization

Neighborhood Analysis

Parking Search

Installation

In MCP Hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.

  • osm-mcp-server: The main server, available for public use.
"mcpServers": {
"osm-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"osm-mcp-server"
]
}
}

Features

This server provides LLMs with tools to interact with OpenStreetMap data, enabling location-based applications to:

  • Geocode addresses and place names to coordinates
  • Reverse geocode coordinates to addresses
  • Find nearby points of interest
  • Get route directions between locations
  • Search for places by category within a bounding box
  • Suggest optimal meeting points for multiple people
  • Explore areas and get comprehensive location information
  • Find schools and educational institutions near a location
  • Analyze commute options between home and work
  • Locate EV charging stations with connector and power filtering
  • Perform neighborhood livability analysis for real estate
  • Find parking facilities with availability and fee information

Components

Resources

The server implements location-based resources:

  • location://place/{query}: Get information about places by name or address
  • location://map/{style}/{z}/{x}/{y}: Get styled map tiles at specified coordinates

Tools

The server implements several geospatial tools:

  • geocode_address: Convert text to geographic coordinates
  • reverse_geocode: Convert coordinates to human-readable addresses
  • find_nearby_places: Discover points of interest near a location
  • get_route_directions: Get turn

Questions

What is the OpenStreetMap MCP server?

An OpenStreetMap MCP server implementation that enhances LLM capabilities with location-based services and geospatial data.

What tools does OpenStreetMap expose?

12 in total: 12 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is OpenStreetMap safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does OpenStreetMap need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (242bff0a92b6), read on 2026-10-06. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
