OpenStreetMap MCP Server

Convert an address or place name to geographic coordinates with detailed location information. This tool takes a text description of a location (such as an address, landmark name, or place of interest) and returns its precise geographic coordinates along with rich metadata. The results can be used for mapping, navigation, location-based analysis, and as input to other geospatial tools. Args: address: The address, place name, landmark, or description to geocode (e.g., "Empire State Building", "123 Main St, Springfield", "Golden Gate Park, San Francisco") Returns: List of matching locations with: - Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) - Formatted address - Administrative boundaries (city, state, country) - OSM type and ID - Bounding box (if applicable) - Importance ranking

Convert geographic coordinates to a detailed address and location description. This tool takes a specific point on Earth (latitude and longitude) and returns comprehensive information about that location, including its address, nearby landmarks, administrative boundaries, and other contextual information. Useful for translating GPS coordinates into human-readable locations. Args: latitude: The latitude coordinate (decimal degrees, WGS84) longitude: The longitude coordinate (decimal degrees, WGS84) Returns: Detailed address and location information including: - Formatted address - Building, street, city, state, country - Administrative hierarchy - OSM metadata - Postal code and other relevant identifiers

Discover points of interest and amenities near a specific location. This tool performs a comprehensive search around a geographic point to identify nearby establishments, amenities, and points of interest. Results are organized by category and subcategory, making it easy to find specific types of places. Essential for location-based recommendations, neighborhood analysis, and proximity-based decision making. Args: latitude: Center point latitude (decimal degrees) longitude: Center point longitude (decimal degrees) radius: Search radius in meters (defaults to 1000m/1km) categories: List of OSM categories to search for (e.g., ["amenity", "shop", "tourism"]). If omitted, searches common categories. limit: Maximum number of total results to return Returns: Structured dictionary containing: - Original query parameters - Total count of places found - Results grouped by category and subcategory - Each place includes name, coordinates, and associated tags

Calculate detailed route directions between two geographic points. This tool provides comprehensive turn-by-turn navigation directions between any two locations on Earth. It calculates the optimal route based on the specified transportation mode and returns detailed information about distance, duration, maneuvers, and the route geometry. Perfect for trip planning, navigation assistance, and commute analysis. Args: from_latitude: Starting point latitude (decimal degrees) from_longitude: Starting point longitude (decimal degrees) to_latitude: Destination latitude (decimal degrees) to_longitude: Destination longitude (decimal degrees) mode: Transportation mode - options include: - "car" (default): Standard automobile routing - "bike": Bicycle-friendly routes - "foot": Pedestrian walking paths Returns: Comprehensive routing information including: - Summary with total distance (meters) and duration (seconds) - Turn-by-turn directions with individual segments - Route geometry for mapping visualization - Waypoint information

Search for specific types of places within a defined geographic area. This tool allows targeted searches for places matching specific categories within a rectangular geographic region. It's particularly useful for filtering places by type (restaurants, schools, parks, etc.) within a neighborhood or city district. Results include complete location details and metadata about each matching place. Args: category: Main OSM category to search for (e.g., "amenity", "shop", "tourism", "building") min_latitude: Southern boundary of search area (decimal degrees) min_longitude: Western boundary of search area (decimal degrees) max_latitude: Northern boundary of search area (decimal degrees) max_longitude: Eastern boundary of search area (decimal degrees) subcategories: Optional list of specific subcategories to filter by (e.g., ["restaurant", "cafe"]) Returns: Structured results including: - Query parameters - Count of matching places - List of matching places with coordinates, names, and metadata
