What is the HERE (Location & Maps) MCP Server?
Connect your HERE Technologies account to any AI agent and take full control of cloud-native spatial analytics and location services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Search — Convert addresses to precise coordinates (and vice versa) and discover points of interest (POI) with advanced autosuggest directly from your agent
- Routing & Logistics — Calculate optimal routes for cars, trucks, or pedestrians, and generate complex distance matrices for efficient fleet management
- Isolines & Reachability — Visualize reachability polygons to see how far you can travel within a set time or distance limit from any origin point
- Traffic & Flow — Monitor real-time traffic speeds and congestion patterns using precise bounding box queries to optimize delivery times
- Weather & Environment — Fetch live weather observations and forecasts for any location on the globe to prepare for environmental impacts
- Place Details — Lookup rich metadata and schema for specific places using unique HERE Place IDs for deep point-of-interest analysis
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your HERE API Key
- Start building location-aware applications from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- GIS Analysts — perform complex geocoding and reachability analysis through natural conversation without GIS software
- Logistics Managers — calculate optimal routes and travel-time matrices for delivery fleets and supply chain optimization
- Developers — integrate real-time traffic, routing, and weather data into AI agents for context-aware automation
- Urban Planners — analyze city accessibility, traffic flow patterns, and environmental conditions at scale

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers HERE (Location & Maps) 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 HERE (Location & Maps) data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using HERE (Location & Maps) tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Can I geocode a list of addresses through my agent?
Yes. Use the forward_geocode tool to convert any text-based address into precise coordinates. Your agent can process multiple addresses in a single conversation, making it ideal for cleaning up location datasets.
How do I calculate travel time between multiple points?
The calculate_routing_matrix tool allows you to generate distance and duration spans between arrays of origins and destinations, perfect for fleet optimization and logistics planning.
Can I get real-time traffic updates for a specific area?
Absolutely. Use the get_traffic_flow tool with a bounding box (bbox) query to detect current congestion patterns and flow speeds, helping you optimize routes based on live road conditions.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
