openstreetmap-mcp 1.0.1

A modular, enterprise-grade OpenStreetMap MCP server with advanced geospatial analytics.

Enterprise OpenStreetMap (OSM) MCP Analytics Server

A modular, high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for OpenStreetMap. This implementation goes beyond simple geocoding, providing advanced geospatial analytics like neighborhood livability scoring and commute analysis.

🚀 Why this server?

While there are many OSM MCP servers, this version is built for stability, modular extension, and advanced insights:

• Modular Architecture: Clean separation between API Client, Utility logic, and Tool definitions. Easy to audit and extend.
• Enterprise Analytics:
  • analyze_neighborhood: Calculates a "Livability Score" based on walking proximity to essential services (groceries, healthcare, parks).
  • analyze_commute: Multi-modal comparison of travel times (car, bike, foot) for lifestyle planning.
• Efficient: Uses FastMCP for asynchronous I/O and structured tool registration.
• Windows Optimized: Built and tested to run reliably as a background process on Windows environments.

🛠 Features

Core Tools

• Geocoding: geocode_address, reverse_geocode
• Routing: get_route_directions (OSRM based)
• Search: find_nearby_places, search_category
• Analytics: explore_area, analyze_neighborhood, analyze_commute

Specialized Tools (Optional)

Found in tools/extras.py (not loaded by default for performance):

• find_schools_nearby
• find_ev_charging_stations
• find_parking_facilities
• suggest_meeting_point

Resources

• location://place/{query}: Real-time place metadata.
• location://map/{style}/{z}/{x}/{y}: Interactive map tile retrieval.

📦 Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• uv (recommended) or pip

Method 1: Via MCP Config (Claude/Cursor)

Add this to your mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "osm-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "c:/path/to/osm-mcp-server/src/openstreetmap_mcp/server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "c:/path/to/osm-mcp-server/src/openstreetmap_mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 2: Local Development

git clone https://github.com/neco001/openstreetmap-mcp
cd openstreetmap-mcp
uv sync
