Perplexity

Search and map addresses in Claude Desktop

Stop guessing coordinates and start pulling real location data into your chat. Use `search_map_places` to resolve text queries into exact lat-long pairs instantly. Refine your results by filtering via `search_country_filter` or get address details from raw GPS data using `reverse_geocode`. It handles the heavy lifting so you stay focused on the task.

Calculate complex routes with this MCP Server

Plan logistics or travel paths using `calculate_routing_line` to link multiple waypoints. You get a clean path that respects real-world geography. Need more detail? Use `calculate_elevation_routing` to account for terrain shifts, or rely on `calculate_distance_matrix` to compare travel times across various destination points.

Visualize reachability in your AI client

Determine how far you can travel in a set time or distance. `calculate_reachability_isochrone` helps you map out service areas without manual calculations. Pair this with `get_path_elevation` to verify if your route is actually feasible for your vehicle. It turns raw location data into actionable logistics intelligence.
