Built-in capabilities (33)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate OpenStreetMap
Ask your AI agent "Get map data for the bounding box -0.15, 51.50, -0.10, 51.52 (Central London)." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 33 tools connected to real OpenStreetMap data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by Vinkius — your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you the infrastructure to connect your AI agents to thousands of MCP servers — and deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your credentials stay yours. Your data flows directly between your agent and the API. DLP blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade routing and governance, zero maintenance.

What the OpenStreetMap MCP Server unlocks
Connect your AI agent to the world's largest open geographic database. This server enables full interaction with the OpenStreetMap API (v0.6), allowing you to query, create, and update geospatial data through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Map Data Retrieval — Fetch raw OSM data (nodes, ways, relations) within specific bounding boxes for analysis or visualization.
- Element Management — Create, read, update, or delete map elements including points of interest (nodes), roads (ways), and complex boundaries (relations).
- Changeset Workflows — Open, update, and close changesets to group your edits and provide meaningful metadata to the OSM community.
- Historical Analysis — Retrieve the full version history of any map element to track changes over time.
- Advanced Querying — Filter changesets by user, time range, or geographic area to monitor local mapping activity.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your OpenStreetMap OAuth Token
3. Start exploring and editing the map from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI can now act as a GIS specialist, helping you audit map data or contribute to open-source geography without leaving your workspace.
Who is this for?
- GIS Analysts — quickly extract raw map data for specific regions without manual exports
- Open Source Contributors — automate the creation of map elements and manage changesets via chat
- Developers — inspect map element metadata and history directly while building location-based services
Frequently asked questions about the OpenStreetMap MCP Server
How can I download map data for a specific region?
Use the get_map_data tool by providing a bounding box string (left, bottom, right, top). The agent will retrieve all nodes, ways, and relations within those coordinates.
Can I see who edited a specific road or building?
Yes! Use the get_element_history tool with the element type (node, way, or relation) and its ID. It will return the full version history, including timestamps and user information.
Is it possible to search for recent map updates in a city?
You can use query_changesets with a bbox (bounding box) parameter. This will list all changesets that intersect with that area, allowing you to inspect recent mapping activity.

We built the connector to OpenStreetMap. Now put your agents to work. Fully governed.
Vinkius is the AI Gateway with managed hosting. Stop building connectors. Every connection runs inside eight layers of security.
Hosted, sandboxed, and live on AWS. You don't provision anything. You don't maintain anything. You connect.
Every tool call, every token, every response. Logged and auditable. Data flows direct from OpenStreetMap to your agent. Nothing is stored on our side. Ever.
Eight governance layers on every request. Sensitive data redacted before it reaches the model. Kill switch if anything goes sideways. Always on.
