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.
Claude Code registers Radar as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Radar data drives decisions without human intervention.
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 Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
