What is the OpenCage MCP Server?
Give your AI agent precise geolocation superpowers with OpenCage Geocoding. Convert any address into coordinates, reverse-geocode GPS pins into readable addresses, and apply advanced filters — all through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Forward Geocoding — Convert any address or place name into exact latitude/longitude coordinates
- Reverse Geocoding — Turn GPS coordinates into structured street addresses with timezone and sun data
- Country Filtering — Restrict results to a specific country (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2) to avoid ambiguous city matches
- Language Bias — Request results localized in any IETF language code (e.g., pt-BR, fr-FR)
- Confidence Scoring — Filter geocoding results by minimum confidence level (1–10) for delivery-grade accuracy
- Bounding Box — Constrain results to a geographic rectangle for targeted regional searches
- Privacy Mode — Run geocoding queries without OpenCage logging them, for sensitive addresses
- Duplicate Control — Return or suppress duplicate results for data validation workflows
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenCage API Key
- Start geocoding from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics teams — validate delivery addresses before dispatching drivers to avoid failed deliveries
- Data engineers — enrich datasets with lat/lng coordinates and timezone metadata at scale
- Privacy-conscious apps — geocode sensitive addresses without leaving a trace in third-party logs

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the geocoding — can I use it for delivery routing?
OpenCage returns a confidence score from 1 to 10 for each result. Use the high-confidence filter (min_confidence=8 or higher) to get delivery-grade accuracy. Combined with country filtering, you can eliminate ambiguous matches and get coordinates reliable enough for last-mile dispatch.
What does privacy mode actually do?
When you enable no_record=1, OpenCage processes your query but doesn't log it in their cache or analytics. The result is identical, but the query leaves no trace on their servers. Ideal for geocoding patient addresses, legal documents, or any PII-sensitive data.
Can I geocode in multiple languages — like getting results in Portuguese for a Brazilian address?
Yes. Use the language bias tool with any IETF language code (pt-BR, es-MX, fr-FR, etc.) and OpenCage returns the address components translated to that locale. Perfect for building multilingual apps or standardizing address formats across regions.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
