LocationIQ MCP. Pinpoint any location globally, from addresses to timezones.

LocationIQ connects your AI agent to serious mapping power. It's built with industry-grade geocoding tools, letting your agent run complex location queries right in your chat session. You don't need external API calls; you just connect it via MCP and get the data you need.

Finding Coordinates from an Address: If you start with a street address or a place name, you use the search tool. This function converts that raw text into precise latitude/longitude coordinates, which is what most mapping services actually require. You can feed it anything—a full mailing address like "123 Main St., New York," or just a general landmark name—and it spits out the exact pair of numbers you need.

Autocomplete and Address Suggestions: When you're drafting a prompt, typing an address is messy. Use autocomplete to get real-time suggestions for full addresses as you type them into your chat. This keeps your prompts clean and ensures you’re working with fully validated locations from the start.

Resolving Addresses from Coordinates: Got coordinates but no idea what street that point belongs to? That's where reverse comes in. You feed it raw latitude/longitude, and it converts those numbers back into a usable, human-readable physical street address. It’s perfect for when you only have GPS data and need the mailing details.

Calculating Routes and Travel Times: Need to know how far two points are or how long the drive takes? The directions tool figures out the optimized path between multiple sets of coordinates. It returns both the total distance and an estimated travel duration, so you can plan logistics without guesswork.

You're calculating optimal routes for everything from field visits to delivery schedules.

Discovering Points of Interest (POIs): Sometimes you don't know where you want to go; you just know what kind of place you need. Use nearby to find specific points of interest around a given coordinate. You can pinpoint places like gas stations, restaurants, parks, or anything else—it gives you a list of relevant spots near your target location.

Visualizing Locations: For proof, you gotta see it. The static_map tool generates a direct URL for an image map. This lets you visually confirm the exact spot at any zoom level, which is handy when you're dealing with ambiguous addresses or need to show stakeholders exactly where something is located.

Time and Zone Context: You might have coordinates, but you gotta know what time it is over there. The timezone tool queries the local time and the UTC offset for any given pair of geographic coordinates. This lets your agent handle international scheduling conflicts automatically.

Every single one of these tools—search, autocomplete, reverse, directions, nearby, static_map, and timezone—works together to give you a complete location data pipeline. You can check an address, get its coordinates using search; use those coordinates in nearby to list all the coffee shops within a mile; then take one of those coffee shop's coordinates, run them through directions with your office coordinates to calculate the drive time, and finish up by running the whole thing through static_map so you can show everyone exactly what it looks like.
