Geo

mcp-geo

Geo MCP — geographic utilities from free public APIs

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1879+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

Tool	Description
geocode	Convert an address or place name to up to 5 matching coordinates via OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Returns latitude, longitude, display_name, and place type for each result.
reverse_geocode	Convert coordinates to a physical address. Returns street address, city, country, and postal code. Use to identify locations from lat/lng pairs.
get_country	Get country information by name or ISO code (e.g., 'US', 'FR'). Returns capital, population, currency, languages, and neighboring countries. Use for regional context or facts.
get_timezone	Look up the IANA timezone name, current local time, and UTC offset (hours) for a given latitude and longitude via TimeAPI.io. Requires coordinates — does not accept city names.
get_sunrise_sunset	Fetch sunrise, sunset, solar noon, civil twilight begin/end, and day length (seconds) for a given latitude/longitude on an optional YYYY-MM-DD date (defaults to today) via the Sunrise-Sunset API.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/geo/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 1879+ 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

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/geo_geocode \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/geo_geocode. 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": {
    "geo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-geo"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-geo

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 Geo data" })

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