How accurate is the geocoding — can I use it for delivery routing?

OpenCage returns a confidence score from 1 to 10 for each result. Use the high-confidence filter (min_confidence=8 or higher) to get delivery-grade accuracy. Combined with country filtering, you can eliminate ambiguous matches and get coordinates reliable enough for last-mile dispatch.

What does privacy mode actually do?

When you enable no_record=1, OpenCage processes your query but doesn't log it in their cache or analytics. The result is identical, but the query leaves no trace on their servers. Ideal for geocoding patient addresses, legal documents, or any PII-sensitive data.

Can I geocode in multiple languages — like getting results in Portuguese for a Brazilian address?

Yes. Use the language bias tool with any IETF language code (pt-BR, es-MX, fr-FR, etc.) and OpenCage returns the address components translated to that locale. Perfect for building multilingual apps or standardizing address formats across regions.

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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OpenCage tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your 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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OpenCage + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating OpenCage MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
