Overview

What is OpenStreetMap (OSM) MCP Server?

The OpenStreetMap (OSM) MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that enhances LLM capabilities with location-based services and geospatial data from OpenStreetMap. It provides a toolkit for geocoding, reverse geocoding, route directions, points of interest, and area analysis, enabling AI assistants to interact with real-world geography.

How to use OpenStreetMap (OSM) MCP Server?

Install the server in MCP hosts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) by adding a configuration entry using the uvx command with the osm-mcp-server package. For local development, install with pip install -e . and run osm-mcp-server. Test using the example clients in the examples/ directory or integrate via the MCP client library.
