TIGER/Line Geocoder (Census)

What is the TIGER/Line Geocoder (Census) MCP Server?

Connect to the US Census Bureau TIGER/Line Geocoder to transform location data into actionable geographic insights directly within your AI agent.

What you can do

  • Address Geocoding — Convert single-line or structured addresses (street, city, state, zip) into precise latitude and longitude coordinates.
  • Census Geographies — Retrieve high-resolution census data including tracts, blocks, and tribal areas for any location.
  • Puerto Rico Support — Specialized geocoding for Puerto Rico addresses, including Urbanization and Municipio parameters.
  • Reverse Geocoding — Submit coordinates to identify the exact census boundaries and administrative layers they fall within.
  • Batch Processing — Process up to 10,000 addresses at once via CSV data for large-scale data analysis.
  • Benchmark Management — List and select specific Census benchmarks and vintages to ensure data consistency across different time periods.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. The service uses the public Census Bureau API (no complex registration required)
  3. Start querying US geographic data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Data Scientists & Researchers — automate the mapping of addresses to census tracts for demographic analysis.
  • Urban Planners — quickly identify administrative boundaries and census blocks for infrastructure projects.
  • Logistics Teams — validate US addresses and normalize geographic data for routing and delivery.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I get census tract and block information from a single address string?

Yes! Use the geocode_oneline tool with returntype set to 'geographies'. Provide the address and a benchmark (like 'Public_AR_Current') to receive full geographic metadata.

02

How do I find out which census area a specific GPS coordinate belongs to?

Use the geocode_coordinates tool. Input the longitude (x) and latitude (y) along with a benchmark and vintage. The agent will return the specific census layers for that point.

03

Does this server support geocoding for addresses in Puerto Rico?

Yes, specifically via the geocode_address_pr tool. It includes fields for 'urb' (Urbanization) and 'municipio' which are essential for accurate Puerto Rico address matching.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.
