About OpenCage MCP Server
Give your AI agent precise geolocation superpowers with OpenCage Geocoding. Convert any address into coordinates, reverse-geocode GPS pins into readable addresses, and apply advanced filters — all through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers OpenCage as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where OpenCage data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Forward Geocoding — Convert any address or place name into exact latitude/longitude coordinates
- Reverse Geocoding — Turn GPS coordinates into structured street addresses with timezone and sun data
- Country Filtering — Restrict results to a specific country (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2) to avoid ambiguous city matches
- Language Bias — Request results localized in any IETF language code (e.g., pt-BR, fr-FR)
- Confidence Scoring — Filter geocoding results by minimum confidence level (1–10) for delivery-grade accuracy
- Bounding Box — Constrain results to a geographic rectangle for targeted regional searches
- Privacy Mode — Run geocoding queries without OpenCage logging them, for sensitive addresses
- Duplicate Control — Return or suppress duplicate results for data validation workflows
The OpenCage MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
