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.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings OpenCage data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
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 VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
