About Country State City

Country State City wraps the CountryStateCity API as an MCP server for applications and agents that need geographic administrative data. It supports queries for countries, states or provinces, and cities, and can also run locally over stdio.

Key features

  1. 01List countries and ISO details
  2. 02Get states or provinces by country code
  3. 03Filter cities by country and state

Use cases

  1. 01Build country and region selection lists
  2. 02Validate country, state, or city data

MCP support

It exposes tools for querying countries, states or provinces, and cities to MCP clients. It can connect through the Pipeworx gateway or run as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

CountryStateCity MCP — wraps CountryStateCity API (api.countrystatecity.in/v1)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
list_countriesList all countries with ISO codes, capitals, phone codes, currencies, and regions. Returns ~250 countries. Useful for building dropdowns or validating country data.
get_statesGet all states or provinces for a country by ISO2 code (e.g., "US", "IN", "BR"). Returns state names, codes, and types.
get_citiesGet cities for a country, optionally filtered by state. Pass country_code (e.g., "US") and optionally state_code (e.g., "CA") to narrow results.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "country-state-city": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/country-state-city/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/country-state-city/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1875+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/country_state_city_list_countries. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "country-state-city": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-country-state-city"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-country-state-city

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Country State City data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
