Pelias Geocoder MCP. Convert addresses, reverse coordinates, and map POIs.

Need to figure out where something is on a map? This server handles all your geospatial data needs in one spot. You don't just run simple lookups; you execute structured checks against massive map datasets.

Want to turn a street address into precise GPS coordinates? Use search_geocode to identify and pull structured location data from the Pelias Maps service based on whatever criteria you throw at it. If you start with raw Lat/Long points, run reverse_geocode; that tells you what real-world place name or address is sitting at those exact coordinates.

When you're hunting for Points of Interest (POIs), don't just guess. You can get live suggestions as you type using search_autocomplete, which pulls explicit POI names like local businesses or landmarks. If the area is huge, use search_bounding_box to define a specific rectangular coordinate box and pull every single map feature that falls inside it.

To make those searches smarter, you can limit results by geography. Use search_country_filter to restrict everything to only match addresses or POIs within a specific ISO 3166 country boundary. You can also use search_focus_bias if you need the search results prioritized toward locations physically closest to a given starting GPS point.

For serious data work, precision is everything. If you want to isolate location terms using only specific address parts—say, just finding things in 'Region=Y'—you hit it with structured_geocoding. You can also use the detailed information from a known place ID; calling lookup_place_id extracts rich location details that go way beyond just the basic street address.

If you're doing complex map analysis, you might need to know how far out Pelias should look when running a reverse search. That’s where reverse_distance_limit comes in; it checks how far out from your point Pelias should search for alternatives. To narrow down what kind of data you pull—like active GIS datasets—you use search_layer_filter, allowing you to specify exactly which map layer rules you wanna see.

Finally, if a simple coordinate check isn't enough, and you need to know the precise latitude/longitude boundaries for an entire address string, that’s what general geocoding handles. You can also run search_geocode using various input criteria to nail down exactly what you need from the headless Pelias Maps service.
