About Radar MCP Server
Integrate Radar with an AI agent to bring enterprise-level location intelligence directly to your workflow. This server allows the AI to perform complex spatial lookups and geographical computations on your behalf.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Radar tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding — Convert readable addresses into exact coordinates (latitude/longitude), or vice versa.
- Route Calculation — Determine distance and driving times between multiple locations, predicting transit metrics efficiently.
- Geofencing & Context — Check whether specific coordinates fall within defined geographical boundaries (e.g., regions, stores, administrative borders).
- IP Geolocation — Locate a user or device strictly based on an IP address.
The Radar MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
