About OpenStreetMap MCP Server

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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OpenStreetMap tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 33 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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.

The OpenStreetMap MCP Server exposes 33 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

All 33 OpenStreetMap tools available for Windsurf

When Windsurf connects to OpenStreetMap through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning geospatial, map-data, cartography, and more. Every call runs in a secure, isolated environment with full audit visibility. Beyond a simple connection, you get real-time monitoring of agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.

Windsurf will detect the new server automatically

Start using OpenStreetMap

Open Cascade and ask: "Using OpenStreetMap, help me...". 33 tools available

Why Use Windsurf with the OpenStreetMap MCP Server

Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with OpenStreetMap through the Model Context Protocol.

Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention

Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively

JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 33 tools are immediately available

Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts

OpenStreetMap + Windsurf Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the OpenStreetMap MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from OpenStreetMap and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses

Live debugging: query OpenStreetMap tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor

Documentation generation: pull schema information from OpenStreetMap and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically

Rapid prototyping: combine OpenStreetMap data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes

Example Prompts for OpenStreetMap in Windsurf

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with OpenStreetMap immediately.

"Get map data for the bounding box -0.15, 51.50, -0.10, 51.52 (Central London)."

"Show me the history of way ID 4225123."

"Find the 5 most recent closed changesets by user 'JohnDoe'."

OpenStreetMap + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating OpenStreetMap 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.
